Since the extensive floods of 1966, inhabitants of Venice's laguna
areas have come to share in, and reflect upon, concerns over
pressing environmental problems. Evidence of damage caused by
industrial pollution has contributed to the need to recover a
common culture and establish a sense of continuity with "truly
Venetian traditions." Based on ethnographic and archival data, this
in-depth study of the Venetian island of Burano shows how its
inhabitants develop their sense of a distinct identity on the basis
of their notions of gender, honor and kinship relations, their
common memories, their knowledge and love of their environment and
their special skills in fishing and lace making.
