How are the boundaries of the urban sample to be determined, and how should the fieldworker proceed with his study? As Anthony Leeds has pointed out (1968:31), we often try to solve this problem by concentrating on slums, squatter settlements, or ethnic minorities, on the assumption that they are analogous to the small rural villages we know, and that they can be investigated in similar fashion. Watson, for example, found that even in London he carried the image of the rural village with him from San Tin, the village in the Hong Kong New Territories he had studied. en 1982 Clive Egleton 1 Operation Sovereign https://archive.org/details/operationsoverei0000cliv/ w:Severn House 1998 0-7278-5312-0 39115991 13 https://archive.org/details/operationsoverei0000cliv/page/13/ Sha Tau Kok was out on a limb, a tiny village half in China, half in the New Territories, with Mirs Bay to the south and a range of hills stiff with Jap troops immediately to the north.
