Abstract

This study intends to organize a typology of the Colombian peasant communities. The typology is used as the base for a further study of the impact of economic development upon the family unit and kindred as elements of the communities' socio-cultural structures. In each of the types of communities--Traditional, Specialized, and Diversified--the impact of economic development is studied through the change of the already mentioned elements in relation to the economy. It is assumed that there have been some changes in the economic function of the family unit, and that the kindred has lost almost all its meaning. Nevertheless, the family unit as a whole is still the main economic source within the socio-cultural system of the Colombian peasant communities.
