Descripción del artículo del vendedor

New hardcover in matte case wraps. Text is clean and free of marks or underlining. 8vo. (6.25 x 0.75 x 9.25 inches) Includes B&W photo plates, bibliography, and an index. 230 pp. Fast shipping in a secure book box mailer with tracking.

After the fall of communism, postsocialist reforms generated a revaluation of the past, a reconfiguration of local power relations and a breakdown of ties between the state centre and periphery. Once a 'model' village, Talpa now faces economic uncertainty and stagnation. Nevertheless, new strategies for engaging in the postsocialist state are being carved out in the face of both continued 'nostalgia' for socialism and disenchantment with the reforms.
