Beskrivning

Since its inception about a century ago, the anthropology of Europe has transitioned from studies of settled communities, shaped by fieldwork traditions elsewhere, to a focus on more mobile and virtual communities. This book provides a partial retrospective on the field, offering a rich collection of ethnographic summaries from across the continent. It will be of interest to students and academics seeking a survey of this branch of anthropology, whether for private study or university courses.
