Description
The anthropological sciences developed under conflict- ing pressures in socialist rule: Soviet influences, Marxist ideology, and institutional changes versus the continued influence of national traditions and the distinction between Volkskunde and Vlkerkunde. The chapters in this volume reflect striking differences in how anthropology fared among the countries considered: the German Democratic Republic, Poland, Czechoslovakia, and Hungary. The contributions also draw attention to variation within countries, and between sub-branches of the discipline. Coverage extends from the Stalinist years to the end of the socialist era, and the topics range from folklore studies at home to fieldwork expeditions abroad. Chris Hann is director of the Max Plank Institute for Anthropology in Halle, Germany. Mihly Srkny works at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Budapest, Hungary. Peter Skalnk is professor of anthropology at the University of Pardubice, Czech Republic.

Description
Was there anything like a "socialist anthropology" common to Bulgaria and Serbia? Did Soviet and/or Marxist influences, in the discipline and in society in general, penetrate so deeply as to form an unavoidable common denominator of anthropological practice? The answers turn out to be complex and subtle. While unifying ideological forces were very strong in the 1950s, diversity increased thereafter. Anthropology was entangled with national ideology in all three countries.
