Summary:

With the aim of shedding some light on the many ambiguities that contemporary dramatic events are bringing to the fore, this volume collects eight ethnographic contributions, the product of fieldwork conducted in the last two years in geographical problem areas upon fundamentalism and transnationalism, religiously driven deviations and challenges in data collection. It also aims to provide a slightly different contribution from the dominant academic rhetoric, with chapters that cut across established historical "academic" regions while intersecting anthropological or cultural areas, thus deliberately connecting the Caucasus to the Eastern Mediterranean shores through the Anatolian peninsula and the northern Mesopotamia region.
