Abstract
This is a general ethnography of the community of Compi. In 1953, the agrarian reform laws in Bolivia changed the hacienda system of land tenure to one in which the peasants owned the land. Most of the data in this book deals with post-reform life in Compi. In collecting and analyzing the data, the Beuchlers used the concept of social network. Thus, although this is a general study, emphasis has been placed on understanding the social network of the family and community in the economic and political spheres and in the fiesta system.
