Author Biography Michael Herzfeld is Professor of Anthropology at Harvard University and author of seven books and numerous articles. Past president of the Modern Greek Studies Association, Society for the Anthropology of Europe, and past Editor of "American Ethnologist," Herzfeld has been awarded the Staley Prize (1994), the Rivers Memorial Medal of the Royal Anthropological Institute (1994), and several fellowships including one from the J. S. Guggenheim Foundation. Review "The Cretan mountain-dwellers are in particular famous for their sustained resistance to Turkish rule and then to German occupation. Their values, well-expressed in the motto of the Cretan writer Kazantzakis--'I hope for nothing; I fear nothing; I am free'--made them heroes at times when such qualities were positively endorsed in a Greece fighting to escape foreign domination. Today inevitably they are frowned on; Cretan shepherds are now caricatured as 'goat thieves and knife pullers', a survival of primitivism outrageous in a modern state. Herzfeld's excellent and sensitive ethnography of the pseudonymous village and inhabitants of Glendi, a mountain village in central Crete, is concerned with just these attributes, the ways they are lived and reproduced among Glendiots."--Olivia Harris, Times Higher Education Supplement Long Description The description for this book, The Poetics of Manhood: Contest and Identity in a Cretan Mountain Village, will be forthcoming.
