Book excerpt: "Although similar in their economy and their resistance to outside control, two communities have evolved different patters of social organization. In onethe church has come to play a dominant role. It serves as the only local government, even providing street lights and nursing services. It supports an ethic of hard work and the pursuit of a higher standard of living. In the other community, kin loyalties exercise paramount control. The People exhibit a marked individualism , and family members assist and fill in for one another. Living more on a day-to-day basis, they supplement their seasonal fishing income with wage labor."--cover flap
