| Summary |
The book brings together a strong field of anthropologists offering in-depth ethnographic studies of urban settings in the Mediterranean region, ranging from Portugal, to Albania and to Israel. Their aim is to initiate a comparative discussion of the relationship between established moralities, politics, law and civil society from a region with a strong tradition of cultural integration. |
