AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This document presents a detailed anthropological case study of the Island of Anafi, one of the Cycladic island group, showing that '…a strict dicotomy between locals and outsiders in the study of tourism development is too simplistic. The role of return migrants in such development has been overlooked. Seasonally or permanently returning migrants stress either their local or their outsider identity as it suits their circumstances. They make use of a combination of local kinship networks and island contacts together with urban experience and investment capital gained from migration, and establish and run the majority of tourist-related enterprises. Permanently returned migrant become active in local politics and may find themselves in conflict both with long-term residents and with other urban-based migrants over development plans' (p. 75).
