Socialism examines socialist ideals and realities from a variety of anthropological perspectives. Although socialism as a radical critique of capitalist industrial society may appear to be defunct, no one can doubt that it will leave behind powerful cultural legacies in countries all over the world, as well as conceptual legacies within anthropology and other social sciences.
The contributors reveal the factors which have given socialism such a profound worldwide impact, and which helped socialist societies to reproduce themselves for so long. They develop theories and analyses of socialism both in relation to primitive communism and as a modern form of social organization with revolutionary aspirations. Case studies are drawn not only from the non-European countries with which anthropology is most commonly associated, but also from both Western and Eastern Europe. Recurring themes include the links with ethnic and national conflicts, with traditional cultures and religious practices, and with gender relations. A number of contributors also illuminate the mechanisms of the recent changes which have removed socialists from power in many countries.
The first book to present a sustained and wide-ranging investigation of socialism by social anthropologists, this volume will do much to help us comprehend the experiences of ordinary people under socialism and their responses to new post-socialist dilemmas. As well as opening up new fields of investigation for political anthropology, it makes an important contribution to our understanding of some of the most central and far-reaching events of contemporary history.

The 1991 Conference of the Association of Social Anthropologists was convened 912 April in Cambridge. Meetings were held at the University Centre, whilst accommodation and mealsincluding a splendid celebration of the ninetieth birthday of Sir Raymond Firth, an active conference participantwere provided by Corpus Christi College. Supporting facilities were provided by the Department of Social Anthropology, where the convenor would not have survived without the secretarial assistance of Mrs Margaret Story and Mrs Mary MacGinley. He is especially grateful to Dr Frances Pine, who undertook all the responsibilities of local organizer with great efficiency.
Further thanks must be extended to Ernest Gellner, William Wyse Professor of Social Anthropology in Cambridge, who has done much to pioneer the anthropological study of socialism, both in theory and in practice. He played a full part in the conference, and has kindly contributed a Foreword to this volume in his own inimitable style.
The convenor/editor is also indebted to many other ASA members who chaired sessions and contributed to three days of fascinating exploration; and especially to Keith Hart and David Parkin, who provided stimulating summaries at the closing session.
Finally, he wishes to place on record his thanks to the following organizations for grants which enabled a substantial number of Soviet and East European scholars to take an active part in the conference: the British Academy, the British Council, the Royal Anthropological Institute, and the Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research.
