ISBN: 0470002379This insightful anthology presents a compelling portrait of Spain’s countryside amid profound mid-20th-century transformations. Through detailed case studies, the book examines themes such as:
-
Migration & Community: Charting the movement from mountain and Island villages, the narratives explore rural depopulation, emigration to cities and abroad, and the erosion of traditional local life.
-
Agricultural Decline & Modernization: Authors detail the collapse of small-scale farming, regional modernization efforts, and divergent economic outcomes across Spain’s varied rural regions.
-
Case Studies & Regional Diversity: From a Castilian mountain village to communities in the Canary Islands and Basque Country, the essays highlight the differing social, economic, and cultural contexts shaping rural resilience and change.
Combining ethnographic rigor with engaging storytelling, this volume offers a nuanced understanding of how migration, economic shifts, and cultural adaptation reshaped rural Spain. It’s an essential resource for scholars of rural sociology, Spanish history, and anyone interested in the broader dynamics of modernization in Europe.
