I seriously love this book. Fascinating exploration of how a once-outlawed musical genre became the soundtrack of the modern kremlin. And only $30 with the conference discount!

Dear #ASEEES25 students, postdocs, book fans - Terrible news... the display books at the @cornellupress.bsky.social and NIU Press exhibit booths will not fit into our suitcases so... they have to fit in yours. Stop by before 1pm tomorrow to grab a free book and help us out!
