This new volume explores the limits and possibilities of economic change in transforming the lives of women in rural Greece at a time of great economic and political change. It is based on ethnographic research conducted in two communities of Western Crete: Nohia and Platanos, where Lazaridis concentrates on three activities women are involved in: handcrafts, market-gardening and olive-growing. This new volume explores the limits and possibilities of economic change in transforming the lives of women in rural Greece at a time of great economic and political change. Through her rich and fascinating account of the changing dynamics of rural life in a still-remote part of Europe, Lazaridis provides an important contribution to social anthropology, rural sociology and to the literature on gender and development.
