Folklore of the Change: Folk Culture in Post-Socialist Bulgaria

Helskinki: Suomalainen Tiedeakatemia, 1999.
First Edition.

24cm x 15cm. 127 pages. Illustrated glossy papered boards.

The book analyses the developments taking place in Bulgaria in the years following November 10, 1989. The dynamics of the political and socio-economic changes in that period are comparable only to the most extreme periods of Bulgaria’s history. This study is not a political analysis. It is an attempt to follow the changes in people’s mentality. This book documents the enthusiasm of the negation of a chimera lasting half a century and the euphoria of the search for new roads. The volume consists of eight studies, seven of which deal with the democratic processes and developments in Sofia. FF Communications No. 270 published by the Finnish Academy of Science and Letters.
