The People of the Sierra

by Julian Alfred Pitt-Rivers and Julian Pitt-Rivers

Book Overview

The People of the Sierra presents an engrossing account of the social structure of a rural community in Andalusia, the mountainous region of southern Spain. The author applies the principles of social anthropology, without recourse to jargon, to determine the nature of the leaders of a European peasant society--the mayor, doctor, lawyer, priest--and also the smugglers, bandits, "witches," and gypsies who live on the fringe.
