Spanish anthropologist, historian, linguist, folklorist and essayist, Julio Caro Baroja was the third son of the publisher Rafael Caro Raggio and the writer and ethnologist Carmen Baroja y Nessi, nephew of the writer Pío Baroja and the painter and writer Ricardo Baroja, and brother of the documentary filmmaker, ethnographer and writer Pío Caro Baroja. In his first books he presented a synthesis of ethnology in Spain and in particular that of the Basque Country: Los pueblos del norte de la península Ibérica (1943), Los pueblos de España (1946), Los vascos (1949). He made numerous trips in Spain and abroad, with extended stays in the United States and England (between 1951 and 1953). A trip to the Sahara in 1952 oriented his interest towards ethnic minorities, which he would reflect in Estudios saharianos (1955). He did arduous research in the archives of the Inquisition. He also published several works on groups or minorities such as gypsies, or marginalized social sectors such as beggars or historical bandits of the Mediterranean area.
