Book Description:

This 1996 book shatters the disproven but persistent myth of the closed immobile village with sedentary populations in the early modern period. Professor Vassberg demonstrates through many fascinating case-studies that even in traditionalist Spain, villagers were highly migratory, and had frequent contact with the outside world.
