Agricultural Modernization and Change in Kinship Organization in Rural Thailand
Abstract
The purpose of this work is to explain the changes that have taken place in Thai peasant kinship institutions and the relationship between those economic changes and the society in which they occur. The author researches into the consequences of capitalist development on the family and highlights the general problem of relating the peasant's social situation to changing economic conditions. What the author suggests is that the web of kindred relations has traditionally provided the peasant with stable alliances which had been the main support for the condition of the peasant's existence.
