«Los pueblos de España I» is an ethnographic study by Julio Caro Baroja, published by Istmo in paperback (428 pages, in Spanish).
It starts from the rich diversity of the peoples of the Iberian Peninsula, without falling into either folklorism or schematic ethnology, to investigate the historical and psychological origin of their communities. It analyses how that base is projected onto social and spiritual life: folklore, family organisation, customs, art and dress.
First edition published in 1995; part of the Fundamentos collection, no. 54, and includes 58 illustrations.
A work of interest to students and readers of anthropology, ethnography and the history of Spain.
Julio Caro Baroja was a Spanish anthropologist, historian, linguist and essayist. He was known for his special interest in Basque culture, Basque history and Basque society. Of Basque ancestry, he was the nephew of the renowned writer Pio Baroja and his brother, painter, writer and engraver Ricardo Baroja. He is buried in the family plot of the cemetery of Bera, Navarre, near their home, Itzea.
