Synopsis

This work offers a theoretically informed analysis of the internal dynamics underlying the recent dramatic upheavals in Russia and Eastern Europe. The contributors integrate detailed anthropological observation of a wide range of Eastern European societies in transition with a variety of fresh interpretations of social theory drawn from Marxist, feminist and postmodern traditions. Their work should be of interest to students and specialists in Eastern Euuropean politics, social movements and classical social theory, as well as to anthropologists, political scientists, and sociologists.
