Abstract
This paper is the result of an eight week study of social change
as a result of the influence of the developing highway system in Mexico.
It was undertaken Due to my interest in that country and in the forces
that are helping and hindering its development. The first part of the
study consisted in reading magazine and newspaper articles, books, and
pamphlets, and consulting government statistical records concerning the
social, economic and political organization and history of Mexico and
80cial change in general. The second part consisted of a four week study
of one small Mexican town. During the four weeks, I lived in the town
with a family recommended by the local priest. This particular town was
picked because, within the last ten years, a highway was constructed
which passed by it. It was also recommended to me by professors in Mexico
City, and in the short time that I had, it was the only town in which
I was able to find contacts.
