"This is a book well worth reading... it] offers a comprehensive
background to the studied society and the complex social
relationships at all levels that dominate this rural Greek
microcosm. This is an excellent book, of interest to those studying
globalization and the integration of markets but also those
interested on contemporary Greek society and its entanglements." .

"Lawrence's ethnography is a valuable and intriguing
contribution not only to the ethnography of Greece but to the
anthropology of globalization and politics. The detailed and multi
level analysis of social, political and economic transformations is
both critical and well placed... It] reminds anthropology of the
necessity of a critical, detailed and encompassing political
analysis of the interactions and articulations between the
contradictory processes, discourses and practices between people
and socio-economic systems, between people and the formations and
transformations of power." . Durham Anthropology Journal
"Each chapter of Blood and Oranges is densely packed with
argumentation that weaves together existing literature with the
political economic facts on the ground. The treatment is a learned
one, rich and erudite in its treatment of the circum-stances in
Argolida, and always embedding those circum-stances within a
broader set of forces and connections." . American Ethnologist
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."
