Since its inception about a century ago, the anthropology of Europe has transitioned from studies of settled communities, shaped by fieldwork traditions elsewhere, to a focus on more mobile and virtual communities. This book provides a partial retrospective on the field, offering a rich collection of ethnographic summaries from across the continent. It will be of interest to students and academics seeking a survey of this branch of anthropology, whether for private study or university courses.
Robert Parkin taught anthropology at Oxford from 2002 to 2017, when he retired. He previously taught at the University of Kent and the Free University of Berlin. His main research interests are the tribal populations of India, kinship, the history of French anthropology and politics and identity along the German-Polish border.
