Etnogeneză și țuică by Vintilă Mihăilescu

A lively collection of anthropological essays that probes how everyday practices, symbols, and stories shape contemporary Romanian identity. Moving from village distilleries and family rituals to public ceremonies and media narratives, it unpacks national myths and stereotypes with wit and clarity. The result is a demystifying look at how origins are imagined, how tradition is reinvented, and how post-socialist transitions and Europeanization are negotiated in daily life, all told in an accessible, warm, and critical voice.
