Reviews
"The author spent approximately a year participating in the lives of 30 underemployed young men... The author has a keen eye for telling ethnographic details, and liberal use of his graphic field notes makes it clear that he was an accepted and even cherished member of these brotherhoods. Moreover, his evocative photographs of various sites help to transport the reader into post-Soviet Georgia. There are funny scenes in this touching ethnography and a wealth of insight, as well, but the overall tone of these observations is poignant... From these lives, the author extracts a rich conceptual framework... The author concludes that his informants experience 'temporal marginalization' - an ingenious concept with wide applicability." - Ethnos: Journal of Anthropology, April 3, 2014
