Socialist- and postsocialist-era changes in Bulgarian villages disrupted intergenerational cultural transmission as well rural livelihoods. Today, pushing back against rural depopulation, a surprising number of young urbanites are relocating to villages or launching cultural initiatives in them. This dissertation explores the potential of villages for contemporary young Bulgarians unfolding in personal life projects, civic projects, and arts projects. I propose the concept of “rural revitalization” to describe this process of increased interaction with village life, motivated by a village imaginary and pointing to layered, sometimes contradictory understandings of folklore, folklife, and authenticity. Addressing the “folklife project” as a complex genre of cultural production, my ethnographic study considers the slippages between help and harm in depoliticized social initiatives, the challenges of generating new models from the grassroots, and the unexpected role of projects in facilitating mutual aid in times of crisis. The protagonists of these initiatives belong to a generation I call the "children of postsocialism": young urbanites born around or shortly after 1989 and coming of age in postsocialist, European Union Bulgaria. To repair intergenerational and place-based relationships, this generation draws on NGO tactics afforded to them by the very processes contributing to depopulation and cultural change. Indeed, the shift in NGO work from promoting transition in the early years of postsocialism to mitigating the effects of what some see as failed transition in the contemporary moment is intricately tied, I argue, to the renewed interest in village lifeways and cultural programming. The same tactics and opportunities that are enabling young Europeans to build project competencies are also providing the experiences that prompt them to look for homegrown solutions in the face of a disappointing present. Such programs—such as Erasmus study abroad and European youth networks—inspire comparison between the “east” and “west,” creating opportunities to evaluate home through a new lens. In turn, these experiences shape interventions that are a hybrid of EU-afforded and domestic action. Nowhere is this Europeanization clearer than in the rise of a grassroots cultural activist, Atanas “Nasko” Atanasov, to the position of Minister of Culture in the vanguard progressive government formed in 2021. His story attests to the growing legitimacy of grassroots initiatives as models for rural intervention and the affordances of global mobility in his generation's approach to Bulgarian belonging. I focus my analysis on three urban-rural intergenerational residency projects that pair urban youth with elderly village hosts: Rezidentsiia Baba, Selo Nazaem, and Priemi Me Na Selo. Blending rural heritage tourism, salvage ethnography, neoliberal civic engagement, and care work, these initiatives call attention to the village as a persistent presence in Bulgarian life. Curating opportunities for young urbanites to experience “authentic” or “living” folklore, however, they tend to freeze village culture into established formats of revival that are vulnerable to nationalist and xenophobic appropriation. At the same time, such projects facilitate interactions with villagers that open other possibilities. The need to adapt projects during the COVID-19 pandemic engendered collaborations based not on the staging of folklore, but on the practical value of folklife and traditional knowledge. With all its local particularities, this Southeast European case study offers insight into rural revitalization across the world. Global challenges have affected intergenerational relations and rural economies in similar ways across Bulgaria, the author's home region of Appalachia, and elsewhere. Globally mobile urban youth are deploying both neoliberal and activist formats to address the issues of intergenerational knowledge loss and rural depopulation. As their inherited rural imaginaries encounter the actuality of village dwellers and dwelling, young actors must negotiate between new and old ideas of community to respond to the entangled social, cultural, and political issues of contemporary life in the countryside.

This new, thoroughly updated fourth edition of Bradt’s award-winning guide to Liguria is the essential companion to getting the most out of a visit to this beguiling Italian region. Author Rosie Whitehouse has spent over thirty years exploring Liguria. In her wide-ranging guide, she introduces you to not just the glitz of the Riviera but also to the charm of the little-known, wild hinterland and mountain valleys, including in-depth coverage of local gastronomic delights – a key element of any Ligurian visit. Liguria is a rugged region of dizzy passes and breathtaking views, where mountains plunge into the sparkling blue waters of the Mediterranean. The coastal strip includes the world-famous Italian Riviera, the great port city of Genoa, the resort of Portofino, the charming Cinque Terre, and more Blue Flag beaches than any other Italian region. In the hinterland there are many beautiful villages and mountain walks that have yet to be discovered by tourists – perfect for adventurous travellers who want a taste of the real Italy. This fourth edition covers new, high-class hotels and Michelin-starred restaurants that reflect Liguria’s rising status as a luxury destination – but, blessedly, one that doesn’t always come with an expensive price tag. Also new in this edition is information on the new marina Ventimiglia (which coincides with the growth in superyachts locally), wildlife (including whale- and dolphin-spotting, and the return of wolves), travel infrastructure (including new Nightjet trains to Munich and Vienna plus a high-speed train to Naples, and up-to-date advice on car parking, which can be tricky in parts of Liguria) and Genoa’s new Museum of Emigration. With its mild climate, Liguria is a fabulous year-round destination with a strong regional identity of its own. Whether you’re a gourmet traveller in search of pesto, trofie and freshly baked focaccia, a history buff on the hunt for Roman remains, a culture addict dazzled by Genoa’s glittering palazzi and top-class museums, a hiker seeking a mountain escape, or a family heading for a well-earned beach-based break, Bradt’s Liguria is the ideal guide for travellers of all ages and all budgets.

This work illustrates the relationship between one group of Singaporean Chinese and their ancestral village in Fujian, China. It explores the reasons why the Singaporean Chinese continue to maintain ties with their ancestral village and how they reproduce Chinese culture through ancestor worship and religion in the ancestral village. In some cases, the Singaporeans feel morally obliged to assist in village reconstruction and infrastructure developments such as new roads, bridges, schools and hospitals. Others help with small-scale industrial and retail activities. Meanwhile, officials and villagers in the ancestral home utilize various strategies to encourage the Singaporeans to revisit their ancestral village, sustain heritage ties, and help enhance the moral economy. This ethnographic study examines two geographically distinct groups of Chinese coming together to re-establish their lineage and identity through cultural and economic activities

Colonia Hermosa, now considered a suburb of Oaxaca, began as a squatter settlement in the 1950s. The original residents came in search of transformation from migrants to urban citizens, struggling from rural poverty for the chance to be part of the global economy in Oaxaca. Cheleen Ann-Catherine Mahar charts the lives of a group of residents in Colonia Hermosa over a period of thirty years, as Mexico became more closely tied into the structures of global capital, and the residents of Colonia Hermosa struggled to survive. Residents shape their discussions within a larger narrative, and their talk is the language of the heroic individual, so necessary to the ideology and the functioning of capital. However, this logic only tenuously connects to the actual material circumstances of their lives. Mahar applies the theories of French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu to her data from Mexico in order to examine the class trajectories of migrant families over more than three decades. Through this investigation, Mahar adds an important intergenerational study to the existing body of literature on Oaxaca, particularly concerning the factors that have reshaped the lives of urban working poor families and have created a working-class fraction of globalized citizenship.
