One of the characteristics acknowledged by anthropologists as typical of peasant societies is the problematic relationship between ‘high’ and ‘low’ culture. This lies at the heart of the definition advanced by Alfred Kroeber to the effect that peasantries constitute ‘part societies with part cultures’ (Kroeber 1963: 92). What is indicated by this is that peasant cultures can not be understood as closed systems which are clearly demarcated from others, having identifiable boundaries and an integrity of their internal processes. It is only possible to illuminate these ‘little communities’ (as Robert Redfield called them) by reference to wider entities and processes which are characteristic of ‘great traditions’ which provide their political, economic and spiritual context (Redfield: 1967). These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
