AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This source describes major kinds of social relationships in Tamansari, a village in the vicinity of Modjokuto. Tamansari is an abangan community, hence the data do not necessarily apply to santri. The author describes the life cycle, the nuclear family, marriage and affinal kinship, extended kinsmen, the neighborhood and neighborship, social rank, village government, units of local government, and private associations. This is a good source with a great deal of useful information.
