- Summary:
- "This study of ethnicity, identity, and nation-building has a new introduction (on which Eric Wolf collaborated near the end of his life) that shows the continuing validity of the book's innovative approach to ethnography, ecology, culture, and politics. The authors investigated two Alpine villages - the German-speaking community of St. Felix and Romance-speaking Tret - only a mile apart in the same mountain valley."--Jacket.
