AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This book, a general survey monograph of aspects of life in a Taiwan fishing village, contains much information on villagers's religious beliefs and practices, the process of 'growing up', and the local economy. Diamond emphasizes the villager's lack of 'national' feeling, and concludes that they are neither inherently 'traditional' nor conservative, displaying an eagerness to accept beneficial changes originating outside their society and culture.
