In this study Dr Zukin combines the approaches of a political
scientist and a sociologist to examine the distance between theory
and practice in the lives of ordinary Yugoslavs living under
socialist self-management. Going beyond previous work on socialist
societies, she asks how Yugoslavs - as workers, as citizens and as
a society - have benefited from the form of socialism that they
have pioneered. She also considers the relevance of the official
ideology of self-management, institutions like workers' councils
and communes, and political and economic controls to
post-industrial as well as industrializing societies. The book
includes long passages from intensive, in-depth interviews with
members of ten Belgrade families. The families, which are described
in terms of their place in the Yugoslav social structure, indicate
their political and socialist ideology through telling their life
stories, interpreting their own place in social changes, and
reacting to these changes and pressures. Participant-observation of
local voters meetings provides an examination of give-and-take in
Yugoslav grass-roots politics.
