This volume, a study of a transhumant cattle-raising community in
Spain, is based on the extensive fieldwork at La Nava de San
Miguel, a village in the province of Avila in central Spain. It
shows the social and economic factors upon which the continued
vitality of this mountain village is based: the use of communal
summer pastures; the transhumant groups which walk the cattle to
the winter pastures over the mountains; and the system of taking
turns for many tasks within the village. The book analyzes the
dichotomy between the more rigid organization of life within the
village and the organization of life outside the village, in the
transhumant group which goes to the winter pastures in Extramadura.
