Much has been written about the workings of communist
governments in the USSR and the Soviet bloc, yet there is still a
great deal to explore regarding their relationship to the everyday
lives of the citizens living under them. This third volume builds
on the editors' Style and Socialism and Socialist Spaces, showing
how the rise of consumer culture took a unique form in these
countries.
Essays from top scholars address topics ranging from fashion and
game shows to smoking and camping. The authors of the essays in
this collection investigate the ways in which pleasurable
activities, like many other facets of daily life, were both a space
in which these communist governments tried to insinuate themselves
and thereby further expand the reach of their authority,
and also an opportunity for people to assert their
individuality.
