An anthropological and historical study of Santa María del Monte, a village in the León region of northern Spain, showing how its residents acted together at critical times to preserve their traditional forms of social organization through demographic, political and economic crises. Ruth Behar draws on fieldwork case studies and on village family and council documents, including ordinances from 1776, and illustrates the book with her own photographs taken in 1984.
