Zusammenfassung:
In 'Socialism Now', Ana Hofman embarks on a captivating journey through singing, songs, and other cultural expressions to trace the recent recuperation of socialist ideas and experiences in the post-Yugoslav context. Combining historical and ethnographic approaches, the book offers a nuanced account of the activities of the self-organized choirs that have emerged in the region in the last two decades. Their singing activism demasks the privatization, dispossession, and political and social fragmentation that, instead of a promised capitalist dreamland, have shaped lives in the region after the dissolution of socialist Yugoslavia.
