A generation who lived through the socialist period adapt to post-socialist Hungary in a global context. Life histories weave together case studies of gift giving, procurement strategies, harvest ritual, healthcare, and socialist kitsch to illustrate turns towards mysticism, neo-traditionalism, nostalgia, nationalism, and shifts in time-place. People?s unrequited past longing for future possibilities of a Western society facilitate desires for a lost way of life. Not only does this work gain understanding of an aging population?s life experiences and the politics of everyday practices, but also social change in a modern global world. 410 0$aCentral and Eastern Europe$v7. 606 $aPost-communism$xSocial aspects$zHungary 606 $aCommunism and culture$zHungary 606 $aCommunism and culture$2fast 606 $aHungarians$xSocial conditions$2fast 606 $aHungarians$xSocial life and customs$2fast 606 $aOlder people$xSocial conditions$2fast 606 $aPost-communism$xSocial aspects$2fast 606 $aSocial conditions$2fast 607 $aHungary$xSocial conditions$y1945-1989 607 $aHungary$xSocial conditions$y1989- 607 $aHungary$2fast 615 0$aPost-communism$xSocial aspects 615 0$aCommunism and culture 615 7$aCommunism and culture. 615 7$aHungarians$xSocial conditions. 615 7$aHungarians$xSocial life and customs. 615 7$aOlder people$xSocial conditions. 615 7$aPost-communism$xSocial aspects. 615 7$aSocial conditions. 676 $a306.09439 700 $aFischer$b Lisa Pope$f1962-$01689285 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815127703321 996 $aSymbolic traces of communist legacy in post-socialist Hungary$94064239 997 $aUNINA
