Rethinking Class in Russia (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Salmenniemi, Suvi

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

By engaging with discussions in new class analysis and by highlighting how the logic of global neoliberal capitalism is appropriated and negotiated vis-Ã -vis the Soviet hierarchies of value and worth, this book offers a multifaceted and carefully contextualized picture of class relations and identities in contemporary Russia and makes a contribution to the theorisation of class and inequality in a post-Cold War era.
