The events occurring in a Peruvian Indigenous Community following the passage of the Agrarian Reform of 1969 call into question the utility of the cultural-functional typology of Latin American peasant communities proposed by Wolf (1955) and others. A typological model positing functional dependency of the corporate structure upon maintenance of features of cultural closure cannot account for the development of what is here referred to as "open corporate communities." Adequate analysis of Latin American peasant communities must acknowledge maintenance of the indigenous land-owning corporate structure in culturally "open" as well as culturally "closed" communities. An analysis is offered which views the indigenous corporate structure as a means of consolidating power to retain control over land. It is argued that consideration of the political relationships of the community to the "outside" world is requisite to understanding the potentials for political mobilization and national integration evident today in these communities
