Reviews

"... elegantly written and intellectually coherent ... a marvellous study."  · Anthropological Quarterly "By stimulating new debates on important theoretical issues, the book makes essential reading for anyone with an interest in Mediterranean Europe."  · JASO "This well-crafted volume provides ... indispensable reading for students of ethnicity in general,and modern Greek society in particular."  · International Migration Review "... a welcome innovation: it opens up the field of urban anthropology, while at the same time it remains within the best tradition of anthropology monographs."  · Modern Greek Studies Yearbook
