Editorial Reviews:

Combining sharp observation, a native's ease in the city, and talent as a storyteller, Denise Roman spiritedly presents the myriad details and the diverging cultural strands of life in postcommunist Bucharest. Roman focuses on identity-formation and identity politics among youth, Jews, women, and queers.

Summary: Great book!
Comment: Not only for academics, but for potential tourists (to Romania)as well. Hip and smart, a 'must read' for anyone involved in Eastern European studies.
Customer Rating:
Summary: the perfect blend of theory & hard facts
Comment: Dr. Roman has done it! After reading many books on Eastern Europe, I was ready to give up; if they were written by Western scholars, they were unanimously deploring the hopeless backwardness of the region. If written by Eastern European scholars, they were just exercises in journalism or news reports.
And then, I read "Fragmented Identities". A beautiful journey through the soul of Balkans (specifically, post-communist Romania), seen through the eyes of a native, but explained through Western theoretical frameworks. The book deals with an eclectic mixture of hot issues in today's Romania (and not only there!), e.g. gender subjectivities, anti-semitism, feminism, estetics, etc. A must read for all Eastern European scholars, political scientists, feminists and for all those who are interested in a fresh and intelligent portrayal of today's (urban) life in Bucharest and Romania...
