The book focuses explicitly on the experiences of respondents and functions largely to introduce themes and speakers. The principal themes are: identities, relationships, production, consumption and power. Except for selected crucial theoretical and methodological discussions, any academic commentary, which might overshadow the words of the respondents, is kept to a minimum. A key aim is to engage the readers with the text by confronting them with their own preconceptions. Each chapter opens with two activity sections to help readers think about the themes in broader terms, for example by doing some research themselves, and closes with two further activity sections for review and discussion.
Features:
- up-to-date review of theories in post-socialist contexts and methodological concerns
- more than 200 original quotes
- 4 activity sections per chapter: finding facts, understanding terms and concepts, review and discussion and perception and opinion
- brief project descriptions of research included in this book
