Unusual Bulgarian Cultural RitualBy Savy Florida BuyerVery interesting; enlightening and educational documentation of a cultural ritual that spans generations of Bulgarians and survived during communism and post communism.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. just OK .By Glennvery fast; receive it next day. very comfortable and very fine . the price is cheap and the quality is high. for my husband; I have never owned an actual bread product before but since I have started making my own bread; none of the knives I had were long enough to do a good job so I ordered this one. It is amazing. Its long enough for any loaf you may need it for and absolutely no difficulty is creating a smooth; even slice of bread. I would recommend it to anyone who is thinking of getting a good bread product.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Excellent book on postsocialist Bulgaria!By Academic Book HoundMasquerade and Postsocialism is a thoughtful and colorful investigation of the kukeri tradition (i.e. mummers) of Bulgaria. Written by a top rate scholar and one of the first U.S.-based anthropologists of Bulgaria (who also did fieldwork in the country during the late communist era for his first book; Domesticating Revolution); this book is an insightful look into local cultural practices and how they are shaped by larger political and economic realities. Highly recommended!
