Synopsis
How a village, a factory, and electricity collide to reshape social life
This study follows a site in the Andes where an electrification project unsettles long-held village traditions. It shows how external shocks intersect with local culture to create new ways of work, cooperation, and leadership. The book tracks the rise of fresh social patterns from the shop floor to the plaza, focusing on real people and their evolving roles.

- Discover how nontraditional activities, like organized sports, can precede and shape institutional shifts.

Ideal for readers of sociology, development studies, and field-based investigations into social change.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the development of social structure in a traditional village in South America as industry is introduced, creating a novel context for social change. The author, a sociologist, was drawn into a study of the interplay between external event and internal social structure, monitoring the emergence of a new style of association and collaboration. The study documents the particulars by which social structures move from one state to another, and speculates on the systemic character of the change process. The author's theoretical premises are grounded in previous scholarship, particularly the work of Weber, Hagen, McClelland, and Homans. The study contributes to our understanding of how development occurs, particularly in the context of the interplay between traditional values and modernizing influences.
