Abstract: Brief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This is a brief examination of the economic geography of an
island off the northwest coast of County Galway. The focus is on fishing and potato
farming, the landscape, and the settlement pattern and population. The author notes that
the relative comfort of the population was made possible only by government assistance; the
island is not self-supporting under modern economic conditions.
