Recenzii

"Jeremy Boissevain is undoubtedly amongst the most qualified and distinguished researchers of Mediterranean societies: this book chronicles an exemplary intellectual path from a methodological, theoretic and empirical standing - the author was one of the major innovators of the anthropology of Mediterranean societies." * Christian Giordano, University of Fribourg "Professor Boissevain has been among the most prominent social anthropologists since the 1960s, and this collection does justice to his vast and important research and scholarship - Moreover, since we are able to see the development in Boissevain's thinking, we can see how the discipline has changed over the last fifty years, and how world changes as well as academic transformations have forced anthropologists to rethink their theories and methods." * Naor Ben-Yehoyada, Harvard University " - a well integrated collection covering a wide range of interrelated regional subjects - [that] is also admirable for its close attention to ethnographic details and their place and meaning in wider social, cultural, and historical contexts." * Anton Blok, University of Amsterdam
