In order to understand today's Russia and former Soviet republics, it is vital to consider their socialist past. Caroline Humphrey, one of anthropology's most highly regarded thinkers on a number of topics including consumption, identity, and ritual, is the ideal guide to the intricacies of post-Soviet culture. The Unmaking of Soviet Life brings together ten of Humphrey's best essays, which cover, geographically, Central Russia, Siberia, and Mongolia; and thematically, the politics of locality, property, and persons.Bridging the strongest of Humphrey's work from 1991 to 2001, the essays do a great deal to demystify the sensational topics of mafia, barter, bribery, and the new shamanism by locating them in the lived experiences of a wide range of subjects. The Unmaking of Soviet Life includes a foreword and introductory paragraphs by Bruce Grant and Nancy Ries that precede each essay. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

This is great book to read about many aspects of how post-Soviet life was changing in the 90s. But many things have changed especially in big cities and it should not be taken as a description of life now. Many things have got better and some things worse.
There are some bad geographical errors which surprised me in such an academic book: the big market at Gariunai is in Lihuania not Estonia, as the source quoted in the notes makes clear. The mention of Vyborg as being in the Baltic States is quite strange, as it is on the Finnish border. ( )
