Post-Socialist Peasant?: Rural and Urban Constructions of Identity in Eastern Europe, East Africa and the Former Soviet Union

Kaneff, D.; Leonard, P.

During the past decade, life in post-socialist states has been fraught with instability and conflict. This book focuses on changing rural-urban relations - and growing divisions between them - in the context of the reforms. Contributions to this volume explore responses to capitalist-oriented policies and reasons for rural disenfranchisement. The work takes an ethnographic approach to exploring how 'global' processes engage with local, rural concerns in the post-socialist world.
