Reviews

This is an extremely interesting book which fills an important gap in the existing literature. The well-selected and inventive chapters cover a wide and diverse range of interrelated subjects and contribute clearly to shedding necessary light onto nation-building processes in the post-socialist area. The editors have managed to draw together a strong mix of junior and more senior scholars, and the book engages with current and relevant research in the field throughout. -- Filippo Menga, Lecturer in Human Geography, University of Reading, What happens when post-socialism meets the everyday? This book is the answer. An excellent collection of studies showing the pluri-faceted nature of identity and how it may be performed by different actors in a variety of ways regardless of, or even in contrast to, state official narratives. - Marcello Mollica, Associate Professor of Cultural Anthropology and Ethnology, University of Messina, This edited volume brings together different views on post-Socialist identity from an everyday perspective. Going beyond the common state-centric approaches, contributors demonstrate the centrality of the individual and everyday practices in identity construction and reconfiguration. In the process, they break new ground and shed important light onto how these processes have (re)shaped identity markers in the post-Socialist region. This will be stimulating reading for a broad audience. - Maria Raquel Freire, Jean Monnet Chair, University of Coimbra
