The farm at the centre of a racial worldview
For Richard Walther Darré, farming was more than an occupation: it was the foundation of the society he wanted to build. The Peasantry as the Lifeblood of the Nordic Race sets out his argument that settled agriculture, inherited traits and family life explain the development of the peoples he calls Nordic. Its racial categories and antisemitic contrasts belong to the author’s ideological argument.
Inside the book
- Comparisons between settled farming communities and peoples Darré describes as nomadic.
- Chapters on Germanic and Indo-European agriculture, the forest peasantry and warrior traditions.
- His claims about marriage, heredity and the survival of rural communities.
