Abstract
This book explores the difference in lineage and community structure between Hakka and Hokkien villages (Tatieh and Chungshe, respectively). Pasternak describes agriculture, kinship, village integration, and sources of variation in both villages. According to the author, there are both integrative and fissive tendencies in all Chinese villages and which tendency predominates depends on both mutable and immutable circumstances (p. 159).
