Description
This book explores the lives and expectations of young women in the new Russia, looking at the enormous changes that the new social and economic environment have brought. The contributors, most of whom are Russian, focus a wide range of topics, including: the sex industry, women's view of marriage and child-rearing, provincial gang-culture and its links with organized crime, the impact of the market, drugs and Westernization on the Moscow youth-scene and gay and lesbian identities The contributors draw on the growing literature on gender and generation in the West which has arisen as the result of the recognition that the experience of youth is classed, raced and gendered and that the experience of gender is mediated by class, race, ethnicity, sexuality and age. They consider the role of the media, state and social institutions in shaping opportunities and experiences in the post-Soviet environment.
