Rezensionen

"Describes how people in Trikala on the plain of Thessaly reach out towards selective instances of the past that assist them in understanding the turmoil around them. ... the study is an intriguing addition to our understanding of the immense impact that the Greek crisis has on individual lives and the wider fabric of society. ... the book is written in a highly readable and accessible manner and has potential to reach out even toward a non-academic audience." (Janka Hrckova, Focaal Journal of Global and Historical Anthropology, Vol. 78, 2017)
