CONT

(Writers on peasantry agree) that peasant communities tend to be small, and most also agree that they tend to be tradition bound and resistant to change, also, that they are "part-societies" or "part cultures" in relation to some larger civilization, colony, urban centre, state or elite class.

OBS

The terms "peasant", "peasantry" and "peasant community" have been employed to characterize such a wide variety of social groups that a consistent and non-controversial definition does not seem to exist.
