This volume brings together new research on the Greek crisis, and is the first collection to explore the impact of this period of radical social change on anthropological understandings of Greece. With a number of contributions from academics based in Greece, the book addresses a number of key issues such as the Syrian refugee crisis, far-right extremism and the psychological impact of increased poverty and unemployment. The Greek Crisis provides much needed ethnographic contributions and critical anthropological perspectives at a key moment in Greece’s history, and will be of great interest to researchers interested in the social, political and economic developments in southern Europe.
