Biographical Research in Eastern Europe - Altered Lives and Broken Biographies

Additional text

’This book is of major importance to anyone interested in the profound social changes across Eastern Europe as witnessed through individual and group lives. The editors and contributors are leading figures in the field of biographical study and have produced a series of articles which are notable for a methodological richness and theoretical insight which enables a deeper understanding of the complexities of social life within deep societal transition.’ Dr Brian Roberts ’Biographical Research in Eastern Europe proposes deep and comprehensive studies of real human histories. The worlds of pain and betrayal, friendship and solidarity, state pressure and individual resistance are presented here. The book provides both sociological and historical approaches to the Eastern European transformations and of their influence on individual lives and identities. It can be an invaluable source of reflexive and humanistic social knowledge.’ Irina Tartakovskaia, Institute for Comparative Labor Studies, Russia ’This edited book forms an interesting and varied contribution to both biographical research in Russia and Eastern Europe specifically and biographical research more generally...it [is] a valuable contribution to historical understandings of personal experiences of Communism and transition.’ Cultural and Social History ’This book offers a lively palette of recent and current research on Eastern Europe.’ Contemporary Sociology
