Abstract

This volume combines two classic works of anthropology. The Little Community draws on author's own notable studies of villages of Tepoztlan and Chan Kom to explore means by which scientists try to understand human communities. It contains, wrote Margaret Mead, the essence of Robert Redfield's multifaceted contributions to place of community studies in social science. Peasant Society and Culture outlines a speculative foundation for emergence of anthropology from study of isolated primitive tribes.
