This exciting book fills in a conclusive way a gap in the value literature, the study of social values and identities in the Black Sea region. The book takes an interdisciplinary approach to unveil different economic, cultural, and societal similarities but also cross-country differences in the region. It is an excellent and invaluable resource for students and scholars alike studying culture, identity, and values.
