- Summary
- In this book, anthropologist Sandra Ott examines the impact of war and occupation on four Basque communities in the French commune of Xiberoa. The study aims to increase readers' understanding of the way a small community responds to crisis and change, and the way historical memory is shaped by popular local culture.
