From an interdisciplinary perspective based primarily on European
ethnology and political economy, this book explores issues and
concepts concerning the link between culture and economy. A
historical introduction to key theoretical problems is followed by
five empirical chapters discussing aspects of development in rural
as well as urban locations. The author considers local leadership,
looking in particular at part-time farming, counter-urban
migration, and pluriactivity. The classification of informal
economy is illustrated with examples drawn from fieldwork, and
urban poverty and migration are each explored in detail. A
discussion of heritage and identity as a resource for development
questions whether the concern with the authenticity of culture(s)
may be an inappropriate approach to take. The book concludes with a
theoretical reflection on the problematic of culture and economy
and a call for a return to the roots of European ethnology as an
essentially political science.
