Angebote / Angebote:
Anthropologist Daphne Berdahl was one of the leading scholars of thetransition from state socialism to capitalism in central and eastern Europe. Fromher pathbreaking ethnography of a former East German border village in the aftermathof German reunification, to her insightful analyses of consumption, nostalgia, andcitizenship in the early 21st century, Berdahl's writings probe the contradictions, paradoxes, and ambiguities of postsocialism as few observers have done. This volumebrings together her essays, from an early study of memory at the Vietnam Warmemorial in Washington, D.C., to research on consumption and citizenship undertakenin Leipzig in the years before her untimely death. It serves as a superbintroduction to the development of the field of postsocialist culturalstudies.
