Summary/Abstract: Bringing together international scholarship in anthropology, sociology and human geography, this volume explores the complexities of globalization and neoliberal restructuring in the largely overlooked countryside, providing case studies from post-socialist Bulgaria. In this book, the authors set out to offer analyses of the discourses and narratives of globalization, rurality and place that frame the responses of local actors. I recommend this book to anyone interested in globalization, post-socialism and rural change in Bulgaria, the Balkans, Eastern Europe and beyond.
