AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This is a detailed study in economic anthropology analyzing the various factors that have influenced changes in agricultural practices on coastal Spanish Basque farms in Fuenterrabia municipality, Guipuzcoa province, from 1920 to 1969; a period in which tourism began to gain increasing importance in the economy and industrialization intensified. This dissertation documents '…the shift from subsistence-oriented farming based on cattle raising and arboriculture to specialized commercial cattle raising and/or horticulture' (p. 1). Two fundamental questions raised by the author throughout this study are how the Basque farm family is able to adapt its produce and what the long-term effects of these adaptations have on the general agricultural patterns within Fuenterrabia municipality. Greenwood hypothesizes two types of models for the analysis of his data -- the aggregate and management unit models. These he defines, operationalizes, and applies in an integrated framework to the resolution of the questions asked above.
