The Other Greeks
''The Other Greeks: The Family Farm and the Agrarian Roots of Western Civilization'' is a 1995 book by Victor Davis Hanson. The book describes the underlying agriculturally centered laws, warfare, and family life of the Greek Archaic or ''polis'' period.〔Hanson VD (1999) ''The Other Greeks: The Family Farm and the Agrarian Roots of Western Civilization''. Los Angeles: University of California Press, 596 p.〕 The central argument of the work is that the Greeks who were farming the countrysides of the Greek Archaic period ("the Other Greeks") are responsible for the rise of representative governments, promotion of the middle class, amateur militias composed of citizens, and other values of Western Culture, not the widely written about Greek intelligentsia. ''The Other Greeks'' differs from typical historical analyses due to its inclusion of Hanson's own farming experiences as a viticulturalist in Southern California. As such, the tone of the book may be compared to an introductory college lecture as it is trying to reach both academics and the casual reader. Another goal of the book is to connect rises and falls of varying states and empires to the degree to which homesteading is a widespread practice among the populace.
==Summary==
Hanson argues that the Archaic Greek city-state or ''polis'' was an institution that grew out of the intensive farming of Greek countryside at the end of Greek Dark Ages. It is this group of free farmers who work their own land in mass that create the constitutional governments of the ''poleis''. These ''poleis'' then primarily function to foster the practice of intensive farming by the voting class. The argument is divided into three sections: 1 - The Rise of The Small Farmer in Ancient Greece, 2 - The Preservation of Agrarianism, and 3 - To Lose a Culture.
