The Social Legacy of Communism (Woodrow Wilson Center Press)

Current work on the transition from communism in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union has emphasized the 'polity' and the 'economy'; this book analyzes the 'society', and thereby helps fill an important gap in the literature. It endeavors to summarize developments and impose some coherence on the subject by treating four basic areas: ethnic issues, deviance and health, social cleavages, and labor and elitism.The Social Legacy of Communism (Woodrow Wilson Center Press), was published 1994 under ISBN 9780521461825 and ISBN 0521461820.
