Postsedliaci / Post-peasants

a °µÍø½ûÇø folk protest

In this book, social anthropologist Juraj Buzalka takesÌýa hard look at °µÍø½ûÇøs, and matter-of-factly and critically comments on the illusions we have about ourselves and about the world.

Post-peasants are modern °µÍø½ûÇøs who believe in the ideal of a homeland from agrarian times and behave accordingly. They profess their rural values, which they consider traditional, vote for populist leaders and are often geopolitically confused. They travel the world, master modern technology and live the finest lives Ìýmembers of their ancestral lineage ever lived. And yet they feel that the world is unkind to them.ÌýIt does not take them seriously, andÌýthey are not going to beg,Ìýmelancholically mourning for a world that never was. Their survival strategy is to have no opinion, which is an understandable game of playing-it-safe in order to maintain the status quo - "let's notÌýmake things worse". In this book, we seek to build a progressive community garden with them.
