Description
Book Synopsis
The current transformation of many Eastern European societies is impossible to understand without comprehending the intellectual struggles surrounding nationalism in the region. Anthropologist Katherine Verdery shows how the example of Romania suggests that current ethnic tensions come not from a resurrection of pre-Communist Nationalism but from the strengthening of national ideologies under Communist Party rule.Review Quotes
"Not only a rigorous historico-political analysis but also a rich narrative of the tribulations of intellectual work under socialism, which relies on field interviews, extensive readings, and on 'those old ethnographic standbys: intuition, overheard gossip, and rumor.'"--Marcel Cornis-Pope, "Slavic Review
