In his vivid, lively account of how Greek Cypriot villagers coped
with a thirty-year displacement, Peter Loizos follows a group of
people whom he encountered as prosperous farmers in 1968, yet found
as disoriented refugees when revisiting in 1975. By providing a
forty year in-depth perspective unusual in the social sciences,
this study yields unconventional insights into the deeper meanings
of displacement. It focuses on reconstruction of livelihoods,
conservation of family, community, social capital, health (both
physical and mental), religious and political perceptions. The
author argues for a closer collaboration between anthropology and
the life sciences, particularly medicine and social epidemiology,
but suggests that qualitative life-history data have an important
role to play in the understanding of how people cope with
collective stress.
