Honor and Shame and the Unity of the Mediterranean

Posted on May 29, 2012 by Joslyn O.

Edited by David Gilmore, Honor and Shame and the Unity of the Mediterranean is available at the AAA online store at a discounted member rate.

Gilmore provides new, comparable data on Peristiany’s paradigm, “honor and shame.” He reexamines fundamental assumptions about Mediterranean unity made on the basis of the original honor/shame model.

This volume is thus especially significant and timely, and should be recognized as generally important for anthropologists, regardless of their particular ethnographic concerns.  Saunders~Anthropological Quarterly 1988.

SUPPORTS: European history and area studies, coursework in religion, anthropology of gender and social control.
