Reviews
'This book provides an important contribution to post-socialist studies by locating 'the market' firmly in the socially constituted practices of post-socialist societies ... What we have is a series of 'tasters' of what are clearly individual, extensive and fascinating ethnographic studies.'Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies'The introductory chapter by the editors is exquisite... this is one of the first anthropological collections focused on the former Soviet bloc organized around a single issue; as such it signals the increasing sophistication and precision of the anthropology of the area.'Ethnos 'The papers are uniformly excellent and accessible, making the book a useful addition to any undergraduate or graduate syllabus about development and social change - whether in the former socialist world or elsewhere - as well as to specialists'The Journal of th Royal Anthropological Institute (Vol. 11, No. 1, March 2005)
