But more than an ethnography on the road, it is an anthropology of the road. Highways are part of an explicit cultural-material nexus that includes houses, urban architecture and vehicles. Complex socio-political phenomena such as EU border security, nationalist politics, post-Cold War capitalism and financial crises all leave their mark in the concrete. This book explores anew classical anthropological and sociological categories of analysis in direct reference to infrastructure, providing unique insights into the political and cultural processes that took place across Europe after the Cold War. More specifically, it sheds light on political and economic relationships in the Balkans during the socialist post-Cold War period, focusing especially on Albania, one of the most under-researched countries in the region. Categories such as the house, domestic life, the city, kinship, money, boundaries, nationalism, statecraft, geographic mobility, and distance--to name but a few--seem very different when seen from, or on, the road."--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aRoads$xSocial aspects$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01098814 606 $aInfrastructure (Economics)$xSocial aspects$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00973299 606 $aEthnology$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00916106 606 $aTransportation geography$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01155303 606 $aTransportation geography$zBalkan Peninsula 606 $aEthnology$zBalkan Peninsula 606 $aInfrastructure (Economics)$xSocial aspects$zBalkan Peninsula 606 $aRoads$xSocial aspects$zBalkan Peninsula 607 $aBalkan Peninsula$2fast 610 $aAlbania. 610 $aBalkans. 610 $aBorders. 610 $aCritical Studies. 610 $aGreece. 610 $aHouse. 610 $aInfrastructures. 610 $aMigration. 610 $aMobility. 610 $aUrban Development. 615 7$aRoads$xSocial aspects. 615 7$aInfrastructure (Economics)$xSocial aspects. 615 7$aEthnology. 615 7$aTransportation geography. 615 7$aTransportation geography 615 7$aEthnology 615 7$aInfrastructure (Economics)$xSocial aspects 615 7$aRoads$xSocial aspects 676 $a388.1 700 $aDalakoglou$b Dimitris$01687914 712 02$aManchester University Press, 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816255303321 996 $aThe road$94061743 997 $aUNINA
