Her prose is crystal clear, her ethnography is rich, and her theoretical engagement is stimulating and accessible. This book deserves a place on readers’ shelves alongside the best works on the anthropology of post-socialist Eurasia.” —Paolo Sartori, Institute of Iranian Studies, Vienna","brand":"University of Pittsburgh Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52151176855895,"sku":"9780822964209","price":38.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780822964209.jpg?v=1762960366","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/force-of-custom-the-9780822964209","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
