New theoretical and methodological approach that moves away from vertical perspectives in studying the social. Creating conceptual space for studying form-free social phenomena such as informal networks. Critique of conventional methods of studying informal social relations. Flattened structure of text: book written ‘across’ the social, with no chronology, without linking actions to structure(s). Synchrony and the ‘flatness' of the social landscape, the historical context replaced by a thick description of studied cases. Extensive, longitudinal, participant-based fieldwork with numerous case studies. Site-less ethnography escaping the limitations of locality. Demonstration that migrant groups engage with each other (e.g. through economic dealings) making links beyond the national, ethnic religious or class divisions. Definition and description of informal networks, showing examples that that not all types of social organization are structured.
