Uncertain Transition: ethnographies of change in the postsocialist world: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Uncertain Transition: ethnographies of change in the postsocialist world" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

The ethnographies collected here offer a surprising and compelling picture of change in Russia and Eastern Europe found in no other book to date. Looking at the everyday processes by which individuals and groups forge new lives, the authors challenge the idea that we can understand this transformation by the predictable modelswhether capitalism, post-socialism, modernity, or postmodernity.The collection brings together a wide-ranging group of authors from sociology, anthropology, and political science to reveal the complex relationships that still exist between the former socialist world and the world today. Through evocative ethnographic research and writing, they bring to light the unintended consequences of change and show how the slates of the past enter the present not as legaciesbut as novel adaptations. Often what appear as restorations of patterns familiar from socialism are something quite different: direct responses to the new market initiatives. By showing the unexpected ways in which these new patterns are emerging, this book charts a new and important course for the study of post-socialist transition.
