Resumen

About twenty-five years ago anthropologists began to focus on the study of small modern towns. To those who, like Redfield, were concerned with community studies, the “little” communities appeared to be “another of those prevailing and con spicuous forms in which humanity obviously come to our notice.” (Redfield, 1960, p. 1). An examination of the literature shows that through the study of villages and towns we have come to understand one of the most basic organizing social principles particularly important among modern Latin American people.
