Far from a return to outmoded social anthropological models of the area, or a recapitulation of tourist-industry driven fantasies of shared cultural values, the essays gathered here cast a critical eye, and ear, on the ways in which the Mediterranean has been reconceived and performed in the context of national and transnational programs of political and economic consolidation…the book adds considerably to our understanding of the politics of place and culture in this contested region and will be essential reading for students and scholars of the region for years to come.\u003c\/em\u003e”\u003cb\u003e  ·  \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnthropos\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003ci\u003e“\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eIt is well known that Charles Tilly left scholars of big structures, large processes, and huge comparisons a tall research agenda.

These authors examine how circum-Mediterranean identities, at every level from the clan to the nation-state, exhibit the complex impact of ideological and political manipulation. They show how this hothouse of Europe’s self-ascribed cultural origins has been characteristically prey to spatial cleansing, gentrification, and bigotry; they also document a regional activism that seeks more tolerant and environmentally benign futures. By problematizing the political and intellectual manipulations as well as the ideological tensions that inform such revivals of the Mediterranean as category and concept, they persuasively refurbish a tired regionalism with refreshing critical and comparative interest.”\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003e  ·  Michael Herzfeld\u003c\/b\u003e, Harvard University; Author of \u003ci\u003eEvicted from Eternity: The Restructuring of Rome\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \tPreface\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eMaria Kousis\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eTom Selwyn\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eDavid Clark\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003ePART I: RECOVERING THE MEDITERRANEAN\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 1.\u003c\/b\u003e On Bureaucratic Essentialism: Constructing the Mediterranean in European Union Institutions\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eVasiliki Yiakoumaki\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 2.\u003c\/b\u003e European ‘Securitisation Policies’ and the Southern ‘Fortress-Europe’\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eMinas Samatas\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 3.\u003c\/b\u003e Locating the ‘Mediterranean’ in Music: The Medi-Terra music festival\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eEleni Kallimopoulou\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003ePART II: STATE, CAPITAL AND RESISTANCE\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 4.\u003c\/b\u003e Spaces of War, spaces of Memory: Popular expressions of politics in post-war Beirut\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eSune Haugbolle\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 5.\u003c\/b\u003e Environmentalists in Malta: The growing voice of civil society\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eJeremy Boissevain\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eCaroline Gatt\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 6.\u003c\/b\u003e Governing Coastal Biodiversity: Caretta caretta in Zakynthos and Crete\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eMaria Kousis\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eKaterina Psarikidou\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003ePART III: CAPITAL AND NEIGHBOURHOOD GOVERNANCE\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 7.\u003c\/b\u003e Contested Politics of the Mediterranean: Star Street and the struggle for development in Bethlehem \u003ci\u003eCarol\u003cbr\u003e \tSansour Dabdoub\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eCarol Zoughbi-Janineh\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 8.\u003c\/b\u003e Contentious Politics at a Bosphorus Neighbourhood: Perspectives on conflict and solidarity during the 20th Century\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eGünham Danişman\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eIsmail Üstün\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 9.\u003c\/b\u003e Playing Snakes and Ladders in Ciutat de Mallorca: An ethnographic approach to the production of the neighbourhood scale\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eMarc A.
