AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This is a study of changes in the socio-economic structure of a rural region in Turkey. The introduction of tobacco beginning in the 1960s along with easy credit allowed former sharecroppers to buy their own land and become independent farmers. This trend undermined the power of local landlord elites ([n]ağa[/n]) residing in county towns. An improved transportation system also weakened the centrality of county towns on which villages had depended for various services. Local elites also lost their position as political brokers between rural and urban areas when political parties established themselves in the region's towns and villages after the estalishment of the Republic.
