The articles collected here trace the intellectual journey of
Christian Giordano, head of the Social Anthropology Institute at
the University of Fribourg, Switzerland. The reader will be
transported to places Giordano has explored, loved, or merely
visited, from Sicily to Malaysia, from Switzerland to Eastern
Europe and the Balkans. Each article illustrates a facet of his
work. The journey starts with biographical sketches and continues
through different fields of Political Anthropology (Citizenship,
Multiculturalism, Ethnicity, Rural Studies, Trust, Postcolonial
Studies, Honour). It ends with reflections on the use and abuse of
Anthropology.
In this thoroughly revised fourth edition, with ten new chapters,
the editors provide thought-provoking discussions on the importance
of ethnicity in different cultural and social contexts. The authors
focus especially on changing ethnic and national identities, on
migration and ethnic minorities, on ethnic ascription versus
self-definitions, and on shifting ethnic identities and political
control. The international group of scholars examines ethnic
identities, conflicts and accommodations around the globe, in
Africa (including Zaire and South Africa), Belgium, Brazil,
Bulgaria, Italy, Japan, Lithuania, Macedonia, the Netherlands, the
United States, Thailand, and the former Yugoslavia. It will serve
as an excellent text for courses in race & ethnic relations,
and anthropology and ethnic studies.
