| 7. | Lewis, Henry T. ILOCANO RICE FARMERS: A Comparative Study of Two Philippine Barrios
Honolulu University Of Hawai`i Press 1971 Hardcover Good with no dust jacket
155 x 235 mm.; pg. xi, 209; Preface, introduction, appendixes, maps, glossary, bibliography, index. "Third-largest of the ethnolinguistic groups that comprise Filipino lowland society, the Ilocanos are popularly stereotyped in positive terms as being industrious, thrifty and frugal and in negative terms as being pushy, hot-headed, land hungry and excessively clannish. Lewis' accomplished anthropological study examines this folk image in the context of two rice-growing communities, one in the Ilocano homeland on Luzon's north-east coast, the other established by Ilocano migrants a hundred or more miles distant in the upper Cagayan Valley. Lewis concludes that the common characterization is not without foundation so far as the Ilocos coast is concerned, where a penurious environment has practically made hard work and thrift 'virtues of necessity'. The relative affluence of life in the Cagayan Valley, however, has made such virtues less important, and the Ilocanos there behave in a less intense, more easy-going manner much more akin to that of other lowland peoples.

But the breakdown of communal bonds and local beliefs also associated with modernization in most theories of rural development simply has not happened. On the contrary, traditional beliefs, and especially the redistributive prestige feasts that figure largely in the indigenous religion (called Paganism by both its adherents and its adversaries), have flourished."; 0520072723
