Ger Duijzings (ed.), Global Villages: Rural and Urban Transformations in Contemporary Bulgaria. Anthem Press, 2013.
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.
