What is Eric R. Wolf. Closed Corporate Peasant Communities in Mesoamerica and Cetral Java about?

This document discusses similarities between closed corporate peasant communities in Mesoamerica and Central Java. Both areas had communities that maintained communal control over land and encouraged redistribution of surpluses. They sought to restrict membership and limit contact with outsiders. While communal land tenure has declined in both areas over time, communities still maintain influence over land rights and transactions. Religious rituals also served to reinforce community membership and identity.
