'Conceptualizing a European ethnology requires differentiated local knowledge on the numerous national ethnologies, their histories, institutional situations, relationships to state and society, and their comparative aspirations. The parallel yet divergent histories assembled here assist in generating the kind of reflexivity needed as we work toward an intellectually shared sense of European ethnology and presents information researched by local ethnologists to a wider readership.' Regina Bendix, Georg-August-Universitat Gottingen, Germany 'Edited by three of the leading voices in European ethnology today, this challenging book brings together an impressive team of international contributors to explore the the dynamics of Europe's regional ethnologies. Deploying carefully chosen case studies, the volume illuminates key issues of everyday life In Europe. It will be welcomed by all with an interest in European ethnology, past, present and future.'
