A Proposal to Recycle Mechanical and Organic Solidarity in Community Sociology.
Perry, Charles
Rural Sociology, v51 n3 p263-77 Fall 1986
Explores geographical definition of communities and tendency for community relations to transcend geographical boundaries. Reinterprets Durkheim's theory of social solidarity to argue that division of labor directly reduces solidarity but indirectly increases solidarity through secondary groups, the state, and the cult of individuality.
