Experiences of a Norwegian-American girl living in a small Greek village in the Peloponnese Book

Religious festivals at which celebrants tidy up their family tombs and make archangels dance in the village piazza. Tales like these, along with all the myriad sights, flavors and fragrances of Sicily, burst from the pages of this gem of contemporary travel writing " 334p. bibliography index.

cm. 17 x 24, xviii-282 pp. con 12 tavv. f.t. Biblioteca di ?Lares? Il volume nasce da un?esperienza etnografica e storiografica che ha consentito di ricostruire in chiave antropologica le componenti culturali, sociali ed economiche di un paese di confinario valdostano di idioma francoprovenzale. La comunit? ? stata studiata nella sua complessit? in prospettiva diacronica. Gli aspetti normativi e assiologici in rapporto alla vita quotidiana e alla attivit? prevalenti connesse ai vari momenti della sua storia hanno permesso di stabilire il senso e l?intensit? delle mutazioni che hanno segnato il passaggio dalla tradizionale economia agro-pastorale alle fasi successive caratterizzate dall?instaurarsi dell?industria estrattiva e, pi? recentemente, dallo sviluppo turistico e del terziario avanzato. Born from an unusual ethnographical and historiographical experience, this book reconstructs the cultural, social and economic components of a French Provencal border community in Val d?Aosta, from an anthropological point of view. The cultural themes of ordinary life linked to the different stages of this community?s history, enable the reader to grasp the meaning of the alterations that marked the changeover from an agro pastoral economy to the ensuing periods characterised by the mining exploitation on to the more recent development of the tourist industry. 580 gr. xviii-282 p.

New English Paperback. Cr. 8vo. (20 x 14 cm). In English. 236 p., ills. Turks in London: The unheard voices. The history of Turkish people in Britain is not as short as many would presume but is quite under researched. There is some research on the history of Turks in Britain but still many people do not know that 'Güvercinlik' (pigeon-loft) is the term given by the first Turkish arrivals to Trafalgar Square, London. It is where the first Turks (mainly Turkish Cypriots) used to meet. This was their one and only meeting point out of necessity as they did not have any associations, cafes or restaurants of their own to gather and socialise. Although it is known that some Turkish Cypriots arrived in London in the 1920's and 1930's Turkish Cypriots started coming in bigger numbers to London in the 1940's and 'Güvercinlik' is the place where their journey started.
Fine English Paperback. Mint. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In English. B/w and color ills. The mysterious sex life of the Ottoman Society has remined a taboo until recent yerars. Even now it is not truly unveiled. Beyond the facade of convertional relations, the sexual life of the Ottoman Society was surprisingly rich and colorful.

His addicton to all kinds of sexual experience was possible in the cosmopolitan context naturally, with a good deal of tolerance from the administrators in sexual matters.

Here are some chapters from this wealth of experiences: A Great Mystery: The Harem, Professional Sex in Ottoman Society, Beauty Norms of the Ottoman Man, Bahnames: Handbooks of Sexuality, Çengis and Lesbians, The Domestic Mistresses: Odaliques, The Most Beautiful Women of the World; in Ottoman Eyes, The Warm Nests of Love: Turkish Baths, Homosexuality in the Ottomans, Love Signals, Sex Humour of the Ottomans, Ottoman Texts on Sexuality, Sex Scandals Which Shocked Ottoman Society .
