This series features ethnographic monographs and collected works on theo retical approaches to aspects of life and culture in the areas bordering the Mediterranean. Rather than presenting a unified concept of 'the Mediterranean', the aim of the series is to reveal the background and differences in the cultural constructions of social space and its part in patterning social relations among the peoples of this fascinating geographical area.

The initial impetus for this book arose from a conference we organized at the University of Greenwich in December 1995 with the support of the Department of Political Science and Social Policy at the University of Dundee and the School of Social Sciences at the University of Greenwich. An edited volume has already been prepared from this conference on migration and exclusion in southern Europe, published by Ashgate, 1999. We would like to thank all the participants in that conference who contributed to discussing some of the issues raised in the present book. We would also like to thank Lynne Beeson from the School of Social Sciences of the University of Greenwich and Maria Koumandraki from the Department of Political Science and Social Policy of the University of Dundee for helping us with the preparation of the final manuscript. vii Contributors jacqueline Andall is lecturer in Italian studies in the Department of European Studies and Modern Languages at the University of Bath, UK.
