Description
Corsican Fragments: Exploring National Identity and Cultural Difference In this thought-provoking ethnographic study, Matei Candea delves into the complexities of Corsican identity, tracing the intersections of nationalism, language, kinship, and place. Through an in-depth exploration of a single village, Candea examines how individuals navigate their everyday encounters with one another, forming connections that are both inclusive and exclusionary. Candea's nuanced account provides new insights into the challenges of understanding cultural difference, as well as the rewards of fieldwork. By examining the ways in which Corsicans, tourists, and anthropologists interact, Candea sheds light on the intricate dynamics at play in this vibrant Franco-Mediterranean social universe. With its evocative prose and insightful analysis, Corsican Fragments offers a rich and nuanced exploration of the human experience, one that is both deeply grounded in ethnographic research and universally relatable.
