{"product_id":"performing-russia-laura-olson-9780415326148","title":"Performing Russia: Folk Revival and Russian Identity","description":"This book examines folk music and dance revival movements in Russia, exploring why this folk culture has come to represent Russia, how it has been approached and produced, and why memory and tradition, in these particular forms, have taken on particular significance in different periods. Above all it shows how folk \"tradition\" in Russia is an artificial cultural construct, which is periodically reinvented, and it demonstrates in particular how the \"folk revival\" has played a key role in strengthening Russian national consciousness in the post-Soviet period.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laura Olson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415326141\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415326148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/22\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.29lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.44h x 6.40w x 0.89d","brand":"Laura Olson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086307864831,"sku":"9780415326148","price":240.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bdc39be1-4c86-45eb-8c5b-c6a7ac3d52d9.jpg?v=1769093938","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/performing-russia-laura-olson-9780415326148","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
