Table of ContentsReviews'This book represents a long-awaited comeback of theoretical reflection upon and field research within Mediterranean societies, which, in the aftermath of harsh criticism, had practically vanished from anthropological debate. By dealing with burning issues such as citizenship, legitimacy and governance it presents a thought-provoking and innovative approach to themes that the anthropology of the Mediterranean world had not tackled before.' Christian Giordano, University of Fribourg, Switzerland 'This insightful collection explores crises of legitimacy afflicting Mediterranean democracies. The authors, urban anthropologists, document everyday citizens' perception that power-holders are corrupt, unaccountable, and incapable of fairly and effectively addressing today's colossal problems. Ethnographically rich accounts of citizens' experiences of (mis)rule, withdrawal of moral consent, and resort to informal strategies, contribute to an understanding of legitimacy crises in general.'
