Overview

"A stimulating reflection on the utility of the honor/shame model" Kertzer American Anthropologist "This volume is thus especially significant and timely, and should be recognized as generally important for anthropologists, regardless of their particular ethnographic concerns." Saunders Anthropological Quarterly Gilmore provides new, comparable data on Peristiany's paradigm, "honor and shame." He reexamines fundamental assumptions about Mediterranean unity made on the basis of the original honor/shame model.
