이 책은 경기도의 전형적 벼농사 마을 산진리에 대한 종단적 인류학적 민족지(ethnography)로서, 38년간(1977-2015) 여덟 차례의 현지조사를 기반으로 집필한 것이다. 이 책의 목표는 유례없는 압축적 경제 성장 시기에 마을 주민들이 그들을 둘러싼 사회경제적 변화에 대응하여 어떠한 방식으로 자신들의 삶의 조건을 전략적으로 바꾸어 왔는가를 기록하고, 그 과정에서 변화를 야기한 주요 요인들을 이론적으로 분석하는 것이다. 교통 발달에 따른 마을의 지리적 조건과 인구와 가구의 구성 및 이주 형태의 변화, 농경 기계화에 따른 경제적 행위와 이에 따른 가족 생존 전략의 변화가 다루어졌다. 또한 친족 관계를 포함한 남성과 여성의 사회적 관계의 변화뿐 아니라 무속, 장례, 제례의 행위 변화까지 마을 주민들의 총체적 삶의 변화를 추적하였다.

This book is a longitudinal ethnographic report on Sanjin-ri, a typical Korean rice cultivating village located in Gyeonggi Province. Based on eight different field studies spanning four decades (1977-2015), the book aims to portray how residents of the village made strategic shifts in response to broader socio-economic changes surrounding them during a period of rapid economic growth, and to theoretically analyze the major factors responsible for such turns. The book deals with changes in geographical conditions of the village, population and household composition, migration patterns, economic activities related to farming mechanization, and family survival strategies. It also traces modified aspects of religious and ritual lives in such areas as shamanic rituals and funeral and ancestor worship rites, as well as changing patterns of kin relations and social networks of men and women.
