MACMILLAN Mobilities in Socialist and Post-Socialist States: Societies on the Move

Product Description This interdisciplinary collection explores what mobility meant, and still means, in the specific contexts of Soviet and East European socialist and post-socialist societies. Together the chapters consider diverse practices of mobility and their different contexts of power, resistance and inequality. Review “The scope of the book is broad, discussing both physical mobilities and their representations – cultural meanings attached to moving in space or inability to do so. … The volume is worth reading as an important addition to the scholarship on mobilities as well as to the studies of socialist and post-socialist societies. It deals with under-researched issues like gender and  ethnicity.” (Mariusz Jastrząb, The Journal of Transport History, Vol. 38 (2), 2018) About the Author Catherine Baker, University of Hull, UK David Bole, Scientific Research Centre of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts in Ljubljana, Slovenia Ciprian Cirniala, University of Potsdam, Germany Ina Dietzsch, Institute of Cultural Anthropology and European Ethnology Matej Gabrovec, Scientific Research Centre of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts in Ljubljana, Slovenia Botakoz Kassymbekova, Technical University Berlin, Germany Russell King, University of Sussex, UK Adelina Oana Stefan, University of Pittsburgh, USA Wladimir Sgibnev, Regional Geography in Leipzig, Germany Marina Simi?, University of Manchester, UK Tauri Tuvikene, Tallinn University, Estonia Julie Vullnetari, University of Sussex, UK Larissa Zakharova, Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales in Paris, France
