Indebted - An Ethnography of Despair and Resilience in Greece''s Second City

About the author

Kathryn A. Kozaitis is Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of Anthropology at Georgia State University.

Summary

This engagingly written and deeply ethnographic work examines the economic and political factors that led to the Greek debt crisis, including financial pressures from international lenders, unregulated spending by the Greek government, predatory bank loans, and rising unemployment.

Additional text

Indebted is ethnography at its finest. It takes us deep into the lives of people in Thessaloniki (Salonica) as they grapple with the shock of a broken economy and the fall from a comfortable, middle-class life, to previously unimaginable austerity.
