Extract

In anthropological research one usually turns to cultures where social bonds are still closely knit, and as a result “primitive” or tribal peoples are often the centre of interest in Western anthropology. But in many areas of Europe peasant culture has retained highly integrated patterns of life with relatively little disturbance almost up to the present day. Professionally organised field work reveals astonishing features of culture unexpectedly so close at hand in neighbouring industralised Europe.
