Guide

This book had its beginnings in a panel on "The Anthropology of the European Community," organized by John Cole and Thomas Wilson, at the annual meetings of the American Anthropological Association in Phoenix in 1988. The panel's discussants that day were Charles Gullick, M, Estellie Smith, and Joan Vincent. Wilson and Smith drank gallons of coffee at the meetings while discussing the possibilities of putting a volume together on the anthropology of the EC's "1992," which would be ethnographic, comparative, and speculative. This book, which addresses issues in cultural change in a reconstructing New Europe of the EC, is the result.

The completion of this volume has been a long process, and we have many people and organizations to thank. We gratefully acknowledge the support of Ioannis Sinanoglou and the Council for European Studies, who awarded Wilson a Workshop Grant enabling the contributors to this book to participate in a two-day conference on "The Anthropology of EC Integration in 1992," which met in New York City in October 1991. We also thank Jane Schneider and the Department of Anthropology of City University of New York's Graduate School and University Center, who were our hosts for this conference. Many of the participants in that session presented follow-up papers on a panel, which was also organized and chaired by Wilson, at the annual meetings of the American Anthropological Association in Chicago in late 1991. We thank all who participated in both events.

We also would like to thank the following colleagues who shared their views on the EC by commenting on earlier versions of contributors' chapters: Hastings Donnan, Vincent Geoghegan, Paul Hainsworth, Edward Hansen, Miriam Lee Kaprow, Michael Kenny, Carl Lankowski, Graham McFarlane, James McLeod, Elizabeth Meehan, Edward Moxon-Browne, Liam O'Dowd, and Elizabeth Tonkin.

Thomas Wilson would also like to thank Elizabeth Tonkin and the faculty and staff of the Department of Social Anthropology of The Queen's University of Belfast for their support and collegiality, and Anthony Sheehan of the Faculty of Arts Computing Unit of QUB, without whom the final manuscript of this volume could not have been prepared. Finally we thank our editors at Westview Press, particularly Kellie Masterson, whose appreciation of wider contexts for anthropology helped to get this project off the ground, and Ellen McCarthy.
