Product Description
Synopsis
This text assesses the impact of socialist collectivization on Bulgaria's rural economy over the past 50 years through a case study of one village. Since 1989, Bulgarian villagers have struggled to defend their earlier gains against both proto-capitalists and rehabilitated socialists.

Great insight into Bulgarian village social/economic life
4 Nov 1999
Format:Paperback
Once you get by some of the academic gobbledygook, this book delivers great insight into the challenges of a Bulgarian village making the economic transition. Creed has obviously 'lived the life' there, as opposed to just parachuting in for a couple weeks. I lived there too and can attest to the veracity of his observations. This is about the best book I can think of for anyone who wants to really know about the people and lifestyle of Bulgaria over the last 40 years.

One of the first American anthropologists in Bulgaria!
13 Aug 2009
Format:Paperback
This is an excellent book by an anthropologist who managed to do field work in Bulgaria before 1989. Creed lived in the village and witnessed the transition process first hand. He gives an excellent account of the changes told through rich ethnographic prose.

Haven't read it yet, but after taking his class, I will!
21 Nov 2001
Format:Paperback
I'm an anthropology student at Hunter College in New York. Professor Creed teaches here, and this semester I took his "Families and Households in Anthropology" Class. He's an amazing professor, and I look forward to reading this book. If his class reflects anything in the book, I am sure it will be great!
