Book Description:

Focuses on people's lives and experiences rather than political systems. The studies are grouped around three common elements - socialist labour, the new socialist man, and the socialist way of life. Using first-hand accounts, the authors find minute deviations from the norms that eventually lead to re-negotiation of the norms themselves. Focusing on routines they present socialism in its 'normal' state.
