Description
"Eastern Europe in Transformation" examines the history of sociology in Eastern Europe during the period leading up to and including glasnost and perestroika. Taking advantage of the raising of the iron curtain, the editors have assembled 25 contributors from throughout the region to chronicle the impact these developments have had on sociology, as well as any contributions sociologists might have made to them. The result is an account of a discipline under siege, struggling to come to terms with its place in a changing social milieu. In addition, the work offers Western sociologists valuable access to the sociological research carried out in Eastern Europe during this period.
