Europe in the Ethnographic Imagination

More than a place or "continent," Europe is a social and ideological construction employed to unite diverse linguistic and cultural communities. Focuses on major themes in contemporary Europeanist anthropology, including transformations within and between local communities and regions (especially with regards to Northern Ireland, the former Society bloc, and Yugoslav federation), immigration, neo-nationalist extremism, the changing character of religious institutions, and the European Union as a framework for organizing identity and society.
