Anthropologist Daphne Berdahl was one of the leading scholars of
the transition from state socialism to capitalism in central and
eastern Europe. From her pathbreaking ethnography of a former East
German border village in the aftermath of German reunification, to
her insightful analyses of consumption, nostalgia, and citizenship
in the early 21st century, Berdahl's writings probe the
contradictions, paradoxes, and ambiguities of postsocialism as few
observers have done. This volume brings together her essays, from
an early study of memory at the Vietnam War memorial in Washington,
D.C., to research on consumption and citizenship undertaken in
Leipzig in the years before her untimely death. It serves as a
superb introduction to the development of the field of
postsocialist cultural studies.
