Abstract
This source traces the social history of the town of Modjokuto and its rural environs from the mid-nineteenth century to the mid-twentieth. The source contains descriptions of the development of the surrounding rural area; the development of the town of Modjokuto; the contrasting elements-i.e., political parties, political participation, elites vs. masses, urban vs. rural, and modern vs. traditional—which constitute the 'cultural paradigm' of Modjokuto in the mid-fifties; and an epilogue which exemplifies the cultural paradigm in action, i.e. the description of a kalurahan election. Category 183 was used for the 'cultural paradigm.'
