Reviews

“This is an interesting and timely volume, which describes through well-crafted historical and ethnographic analyses, the current state of the Italian industrial district model in the light of the recent financial crisis and the subsequent economic austerity.” • Massimiliano Mollona, Goldsmiths, University of London

Description

Among the founding nations of the European Union, no nation has experienced a more devastating affect from the 2008 economic crisis than Italy. Although its recovery has recently begun, Italy has fallen even further behind EU economic leaders and the EU average. Looking at how and why this happened, Facing the Crisis brings together ethnographic material from anthropological research projects carried out in various Italian industrial locations. With its wide breadth of locations and industries, the volume looks at all corners of the diverse Italian manufacturing system.
