AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This is a study of cultural differences between the hacienda and 'free' community systems both prior to and following the Agrarian Reform Movement of 1953. The data are organized along four main lines of analysis: first, to show what the family and social structure patterns were like in the traditionally 'free' communities of the Bolivian altiplano; second, how the characteristics of these patterns differed from the ones representative of the old landed estates or haciendas; third, how the contrasting differences found between these communities may be related to changing patterns of land tenure and power structure; and fourth, what effect the Agrarian Reform Movement had at the so-called 'grass roots' level. The author selected the community of Irpa Chico as an example of a 'free' community and the landed estates of Huacullani, Rosapata and Viliroco as the focus of his field work, and further supplemented this information with data from the National Agrarian Reform Archives. Pertinent data in the text referring to the haciendas of Chacoma, Kaskani, Causaya and Korpa were all obtained from these archives.
