It describes the hard choices of intellectuals in a dictatorial state: 1. remain in isolation, concentrate on scholarly works, and exclude politics in your personal life; 2. be in opposition, criticize and unveil the regime, accept discrimination and exclusion; 3. remain within the establishment and work for reforming the country using legal possibilities to criticize the regime and to achieve changes from within.The book raises basic historical questions and debates, compares East European and American higher education systems, and presents an eyewitness' insights on life in the United States. 606 $aImmigrants$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles$vBiography 606 $aSocialism$zEurope, Central 606 $aSocialism$zEurope, Eastern 606 $aIntellectuals$zHungary$vBiography 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $a1956 Revolution, Biography, Communism, Higher Education, Intellectual life, Memoir, Regime change. 615 0$aImmigrants 615 0$aSocialism 615 0$aSocialism 615 0$aIntellectuals 676 $a335.092 676 $aB 700 $aBerend$b T.
