Nowhere, Dzenovska writes, is this tension more glaring than in the former Soviet Republics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsing Latvia as a representative case, \u003ci\u003eSchool of Europeanness\u003c\/i\u003e is a historical ethnography of the tolerance work undertaken in that country as part of postsocialist democratization efforts. Dzenovska contends that the collapse of socialism and the resurgence of Latvian nationalism gave this Europe-wide logic new life, simultaneously reproducing and challenging it. Her work makes explicit what is only implied in the 1977 Kraftwerk song, \"Europe Endless\" hierarchies prevail in European public and political life even as tolerance is touted by politicians and pundits as one of Europe's chief virtues.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool of Europeanness\u003c\/i\u003e shows how post-Cold War liberalization projects in Latvia contributed to the current crisis of political liberalism in Europe, providing deep ethnographic analysis of the power relations in Latvia and the rest of Europe, and identifying the tension between exclusive polities and inclusive values as foundational of Europe's political landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDace Dzenovska is Associate Professor in the Anthropology of Migration at the University of Oxford Centre on Migration, Policy, and Society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 276\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.61 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 15, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47431086866610,"sku":"9781501711152","price":75.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/6502b8831f0744fa3549f0dffb07df99.webp?v=1778583809","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/school-of-europeanness-tolerance-and-other-lessons-in-political-liberalism-in-latvia-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
