Kott undertakes a social analysis of the Communist Party's grasp on state enterprises and the limits of its power. She then analyzes the enterprises themselves and the social, generational, and gender tensions that had a profound impact on the lived experience of socialism. Finally, she considers the development and acceptance of a complex set of rituals and gift exchanges that masked latent conflicts while providing meaning to socialism's role in ordinary life. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sandrine Kott\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0472118714\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780472118717\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Michigan Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/28\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.25h x 6.45w x 1.25d","brand":"Sandrine Kott","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46545640227071,"sku":"9780472118717","price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ff72dd39-b3f6-45cb-8b82-856c3f802ad9.jpg?v=1738182979","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/communism-day-to-day-sandrine-kott-9780472118717","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
