Russian Traditional Culture : Religion, Gender and Customary Law Hardback
by Marjorie Mandelstam Balzer, Ronald Radzai
Hardback
Description
The resurgence of national and historical awareness among the people of what was once the USSR has been nowhere stronger than among the Russians themselves.
Some of the larger projects of rediscovery amount to a reinterpretation of traditional culture.
This carefully annotated collection of recent studies of Russian folk religion, village organization and family life, including the rituals associated with childbirth, special attention to women's roles and to the specificity of Siberia in Russian culture, will be a revelation to a wide array of readers.
It is intended for use not only in anthropology departments but more widely interdisciplinary courses in Russian studies, peasant studies and women's studies.
