Book excerpt: A study of one Bulgarian village's experience with socialism and the transition to capitalism during the 1980s and 1990s, analyzing contradictions and paradoxes such as the success of industry in an agricultural community and the role of the successes of socialism in its own collapse. Shows how villagers went from resisting collectivization in the 1950s to defending their cooperative farm in the 1990s, taking into account factors such as changes in agricultural production, population decline, growth of nonagricultural enterprises, and decollectivization. Includes bandw photos of village life from a perspective not usually seen in the West. Paper edition (unseen), $19.95. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
