Summary: "Migration, networks, skills: these keywords not only denote three popular and important fields of current investigation in social sciences and cultural studies, they also mark the wide range of interests of cultural and social anthropologist Waltraud Kokot, who is to be honored in this Festschrift. Internationally distinguished scholars from five European countries and various academic disciplines present their most recent research findings on topics such as diaspora and migration studies, urban anthropology, tolerance, and the anthropology of crafts, all of which are connected by the common themes of mobility and transformation."--Publisher's website.
