This book offers a rich ethnographic account of blue-collar
workers' everyday life in a central Russian industrial town coping
with simultaneous decline and the arrival of transnational
corporations. Everyday Post-Socialism demonstrates how people
manage to remain satisfied, despite the crisis and relative poverty
they faced after the fall of socialist projects and the social
trends associated with neoliberal transformation. Morris shows the
'other life' in today's Russia which is not present in mainstream
academic discourse or even in the media in Russia itself. This book
offers co-presence and a direct understanding of how the local
community lives a life which is not only bearable, but also
preferable and attractive when framed in the categories of
'habitability', commitment and engagement, and seen in the light of
alternative ideas of worth and specific values. Topics covered
include working-class identity, informal economy, gender relations
and transnational corporations.
