Pronounced rural depopulation is currently an evident demographic trend in Spanish society. Macro‐structural studies to date suggest that an entirely economistic interpretation of this rural exodus is in order. In this view agriculturalists abandon the countryside in response to the greater economic opportunities available in industry. The present study, by comparing the differential importance of inheritance norms as conditioners of farm abandonment in two Spanish Basque villages, suggests that once the little community is made the unit of study cultural factors other than economic aspirations are likely to influence the agriculturalist's decision‐making.

Informed by and critical of the anthropological critique of tourism, this work is a retrospective examination of one author's willingness to act as consultant to a financially motivated tourism‐development scheme in the Basque region of Spain. Navigating between the Scylla of cultural commodification and the Charybdis of local agency and voice, the anthropologist's role in such a project is fraught with anthropological angst. We consider two critical works on Basque tourism that warn against such involvement, but in the end conclude that the decision must be made on a case‐by‐case basis.

Political violence, labeled loosely as "terrorism," is a seemingly ubiquitous factor in twentieth-century world politics. Coping with it has become a major preoccupation of governments and is the object of considerable international cooperation among them. The purpose of this paper is to examine the case of ETA (Euskadi ta Askatasuna or Basque Country and Freedom) within the Basque nationalist movement in order to underscore several of the conceptual weaknesses in the literature on terrorism while also suggesting avenues for future research.
