Urban Life in Mediterranean: Anthropological Perspectives

By Michael Kenny

Urban Life in Mediterranean: Anthropological Perspectives

0 - Default Title
Description
In Urban Life In Mediterranean Europe, fourteen prominent European and American scholars provide the first overview and synthesis of urban anthropological research in Spain, Italy, Greece, and Yugoslavia. Based on recent ethnographic fieldwork and a critical review of the available literature, this pioneering work analyzes each of these nations from three overviews of urban research in each nation, surveys of research on fural-urban migration, and case studies on urban life. The case studies describe the diversity of life in Seville, the oppressive poverty of Naples, the archaic but thriving institution of arranged marriage in Athens-Piraeus, and the changing concepts of community in Ljubljana.
