Abstract: Excerpts from the report Foreword: This is a report on one of six communities which were studied contemporaneously by six different participant observers or field workers during the year 1939. Each study was sufficiently independent of the other five to warrant, in fact make desirable, separate treatment and publication. The reader, however, will gain full understanding of the findings only when he has read the six studies as a group. El Cerrito is a stable community culturally, in fact almost a cultural island. It has, however, suffered severely because it has lost a large portion of the land which supported it and because it is poorly equipped with technologies to meet the competition of other producing areas.
