Nowhere, Dzenovska writes, is this tension more glaring than in the former Soviet Republics.Using Latvia as a representative case, School of Europeanness is a historical ethnography of the tolerance work undertaken in that country as part of postsocialist democratization efforts. Dzenovska contends that the collapse of socialism and the resurgence of Latvian nationalism gave this Europe-wide logic new life, simultaneously reproducing and challenging it. Her work makes explicit what is only implied in the 1977 Kraftwerk song, "Europe Endless": hierarchies prevail in European public and political life even as tolerance is touted by politicians and pundits as one of Europe's chief virtues.School of Europeanness shows how post-Cold War liberalization projects in Latvia contributed to the current crisis of political liberalism in Europe, providing deep ethnographic analysis of the power relations in Latvia and the rest of Europe, and identifying the tension between exclusive polities and inclusive values as foundational of Europe's political landscape.LiberalismLatviaTolerationPolitical aspectsLatviaMinoritiesLatviaPost-communismLatviaLatviaPolitics and government1991-EuropeRelationsLatviaElectronic books.LiberalismTolerationPolitical aspectsMinoritiesPost-communism320.51094796Dzenovska Dace1037537MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910467880603321School of Europeanness2458575UNINA
