Honor And Shame And The Unity Of The Mediterranean

“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.
