It argues that not only is the movement anti-political, but that it operates within an apolitical social milieu, as a ritualized holding pattern for middle class youths that find themselves uncomfortably placed between a receding state structure on the one hand, and a rising informal economy on the other. Its ritual liminality allows adherents to act revolutionary while assuring that their middle class privileges remain intact. The author considers the social ramifications of the movement at a time when Europe finds itself at a political and economic crossroads, and offers specific and timely case studies from the three southern European countries.Political sociologyGlobalizationEthnologyEuropeCultureEthnologySociologyPolitical SociologyGlobalizationEuropean CultureEthnographySociologyPolitical sociology.Globalization.EthnologyCulture.Ethnology.Sociology.Political Sociology.Globalization.European Culture.Ethnography.Sociology.306.2Albrecht Eduardo Zacharyauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1061062BOOK9910162832903321Alter-globalization in Southern Europe2517282UNINA
