The dust jacket is in poor condition (tears, chipping, faded spine, discolored interior). 8 ½ x 5 3/4, 232 pages, 16 ounces XX [From the dust jacket flaps] This brilliant study of a Mediterranean rural township is the result of several years spent among the people of the Sierra. When the author first went to live in Alcalå, a small white hill-top town in Andalusia, he found it difficult to penetrate the reserve which Spaniards hide behind the affability of their manners. Time and perseverance surmounted this barrier: and J. A. Pitt-Rivers is able to analyse the social structure of Alcalå with real knowledge and understanding. He dissects the passionate local patriotism of the Andalusian pueblo: its suspicion of the central government and distrust of the outside world; its intense rivalries with neighbouring towns and the divided loyalties of its own ruling group. He describes the popular traditions and beliefs: the customs of courtship and marriage; the accepted ethics of begging and bargaining; the local processions and bull-fights; and the practice of magic. He offers an explanation of the nature, not only of the leaders of society, the mayor, doctor, lawyer and priest, but also of those who live upon the fringe, the smugglers, bandits, witches and gypsies. The People of the Sierra is a tour de force of anthropological research in a field which has never before been explored. XX The People of the Sierra is in my opinion one of the best books ever written on Spain and certainly the most exact and reliable. It should be read by everyone seriously interested in that country or in Mediterranean civilisation. The anthropologist's method applied to a modern though closed community has proved so fruitful that one must hope that other experiments of the same sort will be made (GERALD BRENAN: Manchester Guardian). XX Dr. Pitt-Rivers's book is lucid, well-written and modest; he makes no extravagant claims and he avoids technical terminology. From this book emerges the charm of Andalusia (CYRIL CONNOLLY, Sunday Times). …

paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…
