Excerpt from The Rural Community, Ancient and Modern Rural social life in the final analysis always reduces to the problem of locality, neighborhood, community. There is no escaping this fact. And there is no successful study, understanding, or redirection in this field save it be in these terms. To be sure, community is said to be wanting in the country; and there is much truth in the statement. But the fact of its absence does not lessen its importance nor justify any neglect of its consideration. On the contrary, it would seem to offer a challenge to find out just its extent, to determine its nature, to rediscover its forces, and to organize its interests in every locality. For in truth the ultimate goal of all efforts toward rural social uplift is the development of the social unities, or, in other words, the achievement of community. About what nuclei or centres the unifying forces of the country are playing and are tending to crystallize is the foremost question involved in the rural problem. It is contended by some that the villages, towns, and small cities form natural centres and that they are to be the focal points of communization for the farm districts. This claim is not without justification, for it is at once apparent to the observer that country life in a consider able measure does revolve about such places. As evidence that the present development is largely if not altogether favorable to the town-centring process, attention is called to the changes being effected by good roads, more adequate and rapid means of transportation, and facilities for quicker communication. Outstanding among these changes is the resulting approachment between town and country along the lines of a closer affiliation of church, school, family, lodge, and club life, as well as in more intimate business relations.

In this age of large cities, mass culture, and ever more massive events, people must struggle against an overwhelming crowd of their own creations to maintain human integrity. In this manual for human survival, Arthur E. Morgan offers a solution: peaceful existence in the small, primary community where, more easily than anywhere else, people can find a way to live well. Ultimately striving to show that the small community is the lifeblood of civilization, this volume examines the political organization, membership, economics, health, and ethics characteristics of small communities.Like Rousseau before him, Morgan observes that we have less control over our affairs than in the past. In increasing our control of the natural environment, human beings have built a social environment so out of scale that it becomes nearly impossible for people to maintain balance. The struggle now is less with the natural order than with the social order, and preserving human integrity against the plethora of our own creations is the core problem.The need to rediscover elementary forms of human existence has been accelerated by the efficiencies of centralized control and mass persuasion. In the face of this, small communities or intimate groups become the primary pattern in which human beings must live if the good life is to be a realistic goal. The timely nature of this volume has grown as the electronic displaces the mechanical as a moral rival to human community.

Our conception of the culture and values of the ancient Greco-Roman world is largely based on texts and material evidence left behind by a small and atypical group of city-dwellers. The people of the deep Mediterranean countryside seldom appear in the historical record from antiquity, and almost never as historical actors. This book is the first extended historical ethnography of an ancient village society, based on an extraordinarily rich body of funerary and propitiatory inscriptions from a remote upland region of Roman Asia Minor. Rural kinship structures and household forms are analysed in detail, as are the region's demography, religious life, gender relations, class structure, normative standards and values. Roman north-east Lydia is perhaps the only non-urban society in the Greco-Roman world whose culture can be described at so fine-grained a level of detail: a world of tight-knit families, egalitarian values, hard agricultural labour, village solidarity, honour, piety and love.
