Omschrijving

A stunning book by photographer Leah Gordon and bestselling art author Stephen Ellcock, illustrated with 100 incredible colour images from a diverse range of artists of different eras, exploring the enclosure of common land in England and the struggle over the centuries to regain access.

IN 1600, 50% OF ENGLAND WAS COMMON LAND.
IT'S NOW 3%.
THIS IS THE STORY OF HOW THAT HAPPENED.
This is a visual journey through the history of the enclosure of common land in England and the stories of those who have attempted to resist. Richly illustrated with Leah Gordon's photography alongside fine art and folk customs past and present, discover:

- A timeline of this centuries-long struggle for access to the land.
- The stories of rural resistance such as the Levellers, the Diggers, the Luddites and Captain Swing.
- The links between the struggles of the industrial working-class and the peasants.
- Contemporary conflicts around land rights, such as the New Age travellers and rave scene, the anti-road campaign and the Right to Roam movement.

Common People offers a reimagining of English history told by the people themselves, giving voice to the silenced history of the enclosures and the incredible visual creativity inspired by rural resistance and protest.
