Before the collapse of the Eastern Bloc, private marketeering was
regarded not only as criminal, but even immoral by socialist
regimes. Ten years after taking on board western market-orientated
shock therapy, post-socialist societies are still struggling to
come to terms with the clash between these deeply engrained
moralities and the daily pressures to sell and consume.
This book explores the new market and its resulting contradictions
in a rapidly developing Eastern Europe and Russia. Will Western
fast-food industries irrevocably alter local culinary practices?
What effect has the privatization of land had upon ownership and
exchange? What role do new commodities play within the household?
Based on original, first-hand ethnography, this book is a
long-awaited addition to existing literature on post-socialist
societies. It will be essential reading for students of
anthropology, sociology, European and cultural studies, as well as
professional groups working in Eastern Europe and Russia, including
NGOs, development organizations and businesses.
