Memories Cast in Stone by David E Sutton
While recent anthropological studies have focused on reconstructing disputed histories, this book examines the multiple ways in which the past is used by people as a critical resource for interpreting the meanings of a changing present.
Highly original.. [This] work is not merely an important addition to the growing corpus of ethnographies on Greece; it is also an example of how relevant anthropological analysis is as a tool for understanding and deciphering the making of politics and histories in the present. American Ethnologist In this work, as much one of love as of scholarship, Sutton provides a disciplined memoir of his encounter with Greece and the Island of Kalymnos in particular. Choice Sutton's book is comprehensive, knowledgeable of its subject matter and well written. Journal of Southern Europe and the Balkans
