Description

"Meganisi is one of the smallest and most remote of the Greek Ionian islands . [this book ].reveals the historical dynamism of what appears at first sight to be a forgotten backwater. The villages of Meganisi are also .tightly-knit communities, and this detailed ethnographic study explores the basis on which th islander's solidarity and sense of identity are constructed and reconstructed despite population mobility and economic change : the values, sentiments and structures of kinship and family." 276p. illus, maps. bibliography. index.
