In Not by Bread Alone, the first full-length ethnographic study of poverty and social welfare in the postsocialist world, Melissa L. Caldwell focuses on the everyday operations and civil transactions at CCM soup kitchens to reveal the new realities, the enduring features, and the intriguing subtext of social support in Russia today.In an international food aid community, Caldwell explores how Muscovites employ a number of improvisational tactics to satisfy their material needs. She shows how the relationships that develop among members of this community-elderly Muscovite recipients, Russian aid workers, African student volunteers, and North American and European donors and volunteers-provide forms of social support that are highly valued and ultimately far more important than material resources. In Not by Bread Alone we see how the soup kitchens become sites of social stability and refuge for all who interact there-not just those with limited financial means-and how Muscovites articulate definitions of hunger and poverty that depend far more on the extent of one's social contacts than on material factors.By rethinking the ways in which relationships between social and economic practices are theorized-by identifying social relations and social status as Russia's true economic currency-this book challenges prevailing ideas about the role of the state, the nature of poverty and welfare, the feasibility of Western-style reforms, and the primacy of social connections in the daily lives of ordinary people in post-Soviet Russia. 606 $aSoup kitchens$zRussia (Federation)$zMoscow 606 $aSocial networks$zRussia (Federation) 606 $aFood relief$zRussia (Federation) 606 $aPoor$zRussia (Federation) 607 $aRussia (Federation)$xSocial conditions$y1991- 610 $aanthropology. 610 $acharity. 610 $achristian church of moscow. 610 $aeconomic policies. 610 $aethnographic study. 610 $aethnography. 610 $ahunger. 610 $ainternational food aid. 610 $amaterial needs. 610 $amodern russia. 610 $amoscow. 610 $amuscovites. 610 $anew russia. 610 $anonfiction. 610 $apost soviet russia. 610 $apostsocialist world. 610 $apoverty. 610 $arefuge. 610 $arussia. 610 $arussian aid workers. 610 $asocial currency. 610 $asocial practices. 610 $asocial relationships. 610 $asocial status. 610 $asocial support. 610 $asocial welfare. 610 $asoup kitchens. 610 $astudents and teachers. 610 $avolunteers. 610 $awelfare. 610 $awestern reform. 615 0$aSoup kitchens 615 0$aSocial networks 615 0$aFood relief 615 0$aPoor 676 $a362.5/83 700 $aCaldwell$b Melissa L.$f1969-$01217054 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783027003321 996 $aNot by bread alone$93756299 997 $aUNINA
