Central-Eastern Europe as Postcolonially Involved (Sub)peripheries

Abstract

The latest book by Christian Giordano – Professor of Social Anthropology at the University of Fribourg (Switzerland), whom the readers of Eastern European Countryside (EEC) know perfectly well1 – is a collection of 16 works (including 13 that were published before, between 2001 and 20142) preceded by an introduction. These texts refer, amongst other subjects, to the anthropology of politics and economy, alongside issues of ethnicity, nationalism and interculturality in different regions of the world (Latin America, Southeast Asia, Western Europe and Southern Europe).
