Generations in Estonia: Contemporary Perspectives on Turbulent Times, edited by Raili Nugin, Anu Kannike, and Maaris Raudsepp (University of Tartu Press, 2016).

This volume provides a compelling insight into 20th century generational identities in Estonia. Located on the borderline between East and West, Estonia offers a particularly concentrated example of multi-directional changes. It is the first collection of studies for the international reader that offers a wide-ranging analysis of generations in Estonia, including inter-generational relations, generational dynamics, socialization and habitus, the perception of generational identity, and generations as carriers of memory.
