Abstract
This monograph is a socioeconomic study of Koottumangalam, a coastal village in Kalkulam taluk, Kanyakumari district. Information is included on the physical layout of the village, its ethnic composition, the castes represented and their basis of differentiation, the nature of the village labor supply and the occupations pursued by the villagers, and the standard of living in the village. Koottumangalam may be of special interest to students of ethnicity and acculturation, since the authors characterize it as 'a typical example of the integration of two distinct cultures, those of Madras and Kerala States'. Coir-rope making is the major cottage industry of the village, and it is described in some detail.
