What is Peasant Society and Culture: An Anthropological Approach to Civilization about?
Peasant society differs from primitive society by its dependence on a larger society beyond the immediate community. The larger society dominates the peasant community, places it in a lower social status, provides it with a market and furnishes a network of outside social relations. Peasant values derive by compounding the intellectual tradition of the large society with local beliefs. As a world-wide group peasants may tentatively be identified by their attachment to the soil, reverence for habitat and tradition, preference for family or community over individual attainment, qualified appreciation of the town, and sober ethic.
