Small quarto (10 1/2" x 7") issued in black cloth with gilt lettering to spine and cover. From the library of Dr Wilfred C Bailey. 2d edition. Here is an almost unparalleled event in anthropological research. Seldom before have anthropologists had the funds or the time for restudy of the cultures they once examined. Sometimes, indeed, it has been impossible; sometimes, unfortunately, the area studied by one anthropologist has been considered out-of-bounds by all others. But here Oscar Lewis has taken a penetrating second look at Tepoztlan, the Mexican village first studied over twenty years earlier by the distinguished anthropologist, Robert Redfield - and with Redfield's aid and encouragement. This is the result. Twenty yeas had made a difference in Tepoztlan. Now there was a paved highway entering this Mexican village that matches to a remarkable degree many of the characteristics of Mexico as a whole. Now the people have cola drinks, aspirin, radios, sewing machines, phonographs, pool rooms, flashlights, clocks, steel plows and some labor-saving devices. Now, more than twenty years after Redfield's original study, the villagers have a greater desire to attend school, to eat better, to dress better, and to spend more. At the same time, Lewis found that these villagers are still guided by superstition and primitive beliefs; sorcery, magic, evil winds, and spirits still dominate their thinking. But all the differences between the original study and this restudy cannot be attributed to the passage of time. Lewis brings to the investigation new anthropological research methods (for example, a whole chapter is devoted to an analysis of Rorschach tests given to selected citizens). Lewis and his researchers were able to spend more than twice the time that Redfield was able to spend in field study. And Lewis had the assistance of more Mexican personnel. As a result, the differences in findings range from discrepancies in factual details to differences in the over-all view of Tepoztecan society and its people.
