Summary

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