Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the sociology, anthropology and history of Tierra de Campos, a region of northwest Spain. The author, a professor of history, was asked by the heirs of a prominent landowner, Don Bienvenido Barcia Palomar, to examine the late scholar's private papers. These papers contain Barcia's notes, field observations, data collection, photographs and more, all related to his lifelong exploration of his homeland. In this book, the author distills the ideas put forward by Barcia, who saw his region as a microcosm of the larger Spanish condition. The author places this perspective within the context of Spanish history, geography, social structures and cultural touchstones. By presenting Barcia's ethnographic work alongside his own insights and analysis, this book reveals the ways in which larger historical and cultural frameworks play out in the lives of individuals and communities. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
