Another title: The Politics of Parochial Societies, probably a different course under the same number (or a misread scan).
The course will deal with some of the main characteristics of “parochial societies” by which are meant the peasant societies of Asia, Latin America, and Southern Europe. The problems of power in these societies will be treated by reference to certain characteristics which are found with remarkable frequency in peasant societies such as the intensity of religious and family sentiments, the illicit nature of commerce and usury, and the frequent limitation of metropolitan goods and fashions. Open to all students in third year and above. 3 hours, fall term.
