Opis

This collection brings together ethnographies of living with austerity in the Eurozone, focusing on how crises stimulate temporal thought. Contributors explore how the past may be refashioned under contracting economic horizons, challenging assumptions of history and time as organising structures. This book was originally published as a special issue of History and Anthropology.
