AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This study is an ethnographic description of four largely one-lineage communities, which varied in their accessibility to urban centers. The object of the study is to determine the influence of urbanization. The study begins with a description of a conservative and remote village roughly 75 miles southeast of Seoul. There, Biernatzki examines both kin and non-kin associations, local leadership, markets, healthcare, folk religion, ancestor worship, generational relations, marriage, childbirth, and lineage organization and property. The other communities are closer to urban centers where some familes relocate but maintain their lineage connections by participating in ancestor worship ceremonies. Biernatzki's concludes that lineages are adaptable and their solidarity has remained fairly strong.
