摘要
Updated edition of Karl Marx Collective：Economy，Society，and Religion in a Siberian Collective Farm (1983). Studies two collective farms in Buryatiya, both incidentally named after Karl Marx. Describes the Buryats, who are of Mongolian origin and were，at the time of the Revolution，experiencing a burgeoning of Lamaist Buddhism and the first stirrings of nationalism. Explores the relation between the collective farm as an economic institution and its role as an instrument of political and cultural integration，discussing ideology and instructions for collective farms; the hierarchy of rights held in practice; the collective farm economy; the division of labor; domestic production and changes in the Soviet Buryat family; politics in the collective farm; and ritual and identity. Updates the work with a discussion of collective farms after socialism，rural culture，and visions of the future.
