Overview""An American anthropologist, Jennie Keith . . . went to live for twelve months in a French housing scheme for retired people and as a participant observer conducted a study in community creation. This book, in which she describes and analyses her experience, is a delight. It is scholarly and draws on a wide range of studies of similar residences and other collectives; it is also vivid, funny, sad and entertaining.""—Marie Borland, British Journal of Social Work Full Product DetailsAuthor: Jennie KeithPublisher: The University of Chicago Press Imprint: University of Chicago Press Edition: New edition Dimensions: Width: 1.50cm , Height: 0.20cm , Length: 2.30cm Weight: 0.369kg ISBN: 9780226429656ISBN 10: 0226429652 Pages: 235 Publication Date: 15 October 1982 Audience: College/higher education , Professional and scholarly , Undergraduate , Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: Manufactured on demand We will order this item for you from a manufactured on demand supplier.
