Making Sense of the Communist Past in Central-Eastern Europe
James Mark
Price: $75.00
While the West has repeatedly been sold images of a victorious people’s revolution in 1989, the idea that dictatorship has been truly overcome is foreign to many in the former Communist bloc. In this wide-ranging work, James Mark examines how new democratic societies are still divided by the past.
"A masterly, sophisticated and original account of the struggle of Eastern bloc countries to come to terms with their Communist pasts. A fine contribution to studies of collective memory and oral testimony." - Robert Gildea, University of Oxford
