Cultural Resilience: Survival of Traditions in Change

Cultural Resilience explores how cultures endure, adapt, and survive amid rapid social, economic, and political change. This book examines resilience not as resistance to change, but as the ability of cultural values, traditions, and identities to evolve while maintaining continuity.
Written for students, researchers, and readers interested in the sociology of change, the book focuses on how communities preserve meaning and cohesion in the face of globalization, migration, conflict, and technological disruption. It highlights the role of shared narratives, collective memory, and everyday practices in sustaining culture.
Key areas covered include:
• Culture as a source of resilience
• Adaptation of traditions in changing societies
• Identity, memory, and belonging
• Cultural responses to crisis and disruption
• Continuity and change across generations
Cultural Resilience offers insight into why cultures persist—not by standing still, but by adapting with purpose.
Cultures survive not by resisting change,
but by reshaping it from within.
