Culture and Society after Socialism

The formerly socialist world represents one of the fastest growing and theoretically challenging areas in the humanities and social sciences. A decade after perestroika, it is possible to begin to chart the topography of a diverse realm of new  scholarship, built on the theoretical and methodological foundations of cross-disciplinary work. "Culture and Society after Socialism," a series edited by Bruce Grant and Nancy Ries, looks to present the very best of this body of writing. Providing close-up perspectives on the lived experience of socialism and its aftermath, this series advances innovative work that  fundamentally rethinks the cultural projects of socialist states and their outcomes. Through detailed readings of historical and cultural contexts, these works bridge the study of power systems and cosmologies, material practices and social meanings, political economies and the mythic forces that sustain them.
