<i>“In conclusion, the intersection of politics and emotions in the postsocialist countries is definitely an interesting and daring academic journey, situated at the crossroads of political science and psychology. The pioneering work of the contributors furthers the academic boundaries of the disciplines, and adds an interdisciplinary richness to both fields of knowledge.”</i> <b>• Social Anthropology</b></p>

<i>“The authors of these essays present nuanced analyses of ethnographic data from a number of substantive fields, all significant and relevant beyond their immediate empirical focus. For this reason, and thanks to the essays’ easily accessible language and novel theoretical focus, this book is an excellent scholarly contribution to the growing literature on social change in Eastern Europe, and could also serve as a text for students of social change both at the graduate and undergraduate level.”</i> <b>• The Historian</b></p>
