Transition is also, in Michael Kennedy's analysis, a culture in its own right-with its own contentions, repressions, and unrealized potentials. By elaborating transition as a culture of power and viewing it in its complex relation to emancipation, nationalism, and war, Kennedy's book clarifies the transformations of postcommunism as well as, more generally, the ways in which culture articulates social change.Contradictions (Minneapolis, Minn.) ;15.Political cultureEurope, EasternPost-communismEurope, EasternEurope, EasternPolitics and government1989-Electronic books.Political culturePost-communism306.2/0947Kennedy Michael D211598MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910452228403321Cultural formations of postcommunism2267300UNINA
