A compelling account of the intersection of globalization and neo-racism
in a rural Greek community, this book describes the contradictory
political and economic development of the Greek countryside since its
incorporation into the European Union, where increased prosperity and
social liberalization have been accompanied by the creation of a
vulnerable and marginalized class of immigrant laborers. The author
analyzes the paradoxical resurgence of ethnic nationalism and neo-racism
that has grown in the wake of European unification and addresses key
issues of racism, neoliberalism and nationalism in contemporary
anthropology.
