Unique in its balanced coverage of developments in both Czech and Slovak lands, including the Hungarian minority of southern Slovakia, this book looks beyond Prague and Bratislava to collective action in small towns, provincial factories, and collective farms.Through his broad and deep analysis of workers' declarations, student bulletins, newspapers, film footage, and the proceedings of local administrative bodies, Krapfl contends that Czechoslovaks rejected Communism not because it was socialist, but because it was arbitrarily bureaucratic and inhumane. The restoration of a basic "humanness"-in politics and in daily relations among citizens-was the central goal of the revolution. In the strikes and demonstrations that began in the last weeks of 1989, Krapfl argues, citizens forged new symbols and a new symbolic system to reflect the humane, democratic, and nonviolent community they sought to create. Tracing the course of the revolution from early, idealistic euphoria through turns to radicalism and ultimately subversive reaction, Revolution with a Human Face finds in Czechoslovakia's experiences lessons of both inspiration and caution for people in other countries striving to democratize their governments. 606 $aPolitical culture$zCzechoslovakia 607 $aCzechoslovakia$xPolitics and government$y1989-1992 607 $aCzechoslovakia$xHistory$yVelvet Revolution, 1989 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPolitical culture 676 $a943.704/3 700 $aKrapfl$b James$f1971-$01052313 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464319503321 996 $aRevolution with a human face$92483476 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01567nas 2200517-a 450 001 9910140389803321 005 20240413022003.0 011 $a0176-3989 035 $a(CKB)110978966548168 035 $a(CONSER)--2001243459 035 $a(DE-599)ZDB1473151-4 035 $a(EXLCZ)99110978966548168 100 $a20011002a19739999 --- - 101 0 $ager 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aDeutsches Ärzteblatt 205 $aAusg.
