Facets of Crisis in a Greek Island

Since 2008, "crisis" discourse has emerged as one of the key issues for practicing anthropologists. According to a review of the field of practicing anthropology in 2009, practicing anthropologists made substantial contributions on topical areas like fiscal, ecological, and human crisis and relevant issues, like civil rights and displacement among others. At the same time, they have turned to action-orientated anthropological research with varying degrees of collaboration with the communities they study (Brondo 2010). This article emerges from the researcher's active engagement with local-based communities and collectivities and discusses the experience of the current "crisis" on the Greek island of Ikaria from the actors' point of view, as well as the ways these communities perceive their struggles against crisis.1
