A uniquely critical and qualitative analysis from a comparative and critical perspective, written by scholars from the region itself. Focusing on the first post-Communist decade, 1989–1999, the book offers a longer-term perspective that includes the immediate 'prehistory' of that momentous decade as well as its 'posthistoire'. The authors capture the spirit of 1989, that heady mix of elation, surprise, determination, and hope: l'ivresse du possible. This was the paradoxical beginning of Eastern European post-Communism: ushered in by 'anti-Utopian' revolutions, and slowly finding its course towards a bureaucratic, imitative, challenging, and anachronistic restoration of a capitalism that had changed almost beyond recognition when it had mutated into the negative double of Communism. Each individual chapter has numerous and detailed notes and references.Post-communismEurope, EasternEurope, EasternHistoriographyEastern Europe, Historiography, Late 20th century, Memory politics, Postcommunism, Regime change.Post-communism947.00072Antohi Sorin313864Trencsényi Balázs1973-431803Apor Péter431804MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910777404503321Narratives unbound3763793UNINA
