What is the legacy of this period for cultural attitudes to the environment and the contemporary battle to confront climate change?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is the first in-depth study of the legacy of the Soviet era on attitudes to the environment in countries such as Poland, Hungary and Ukraine. Exploring responses in literature, culture and film to political projects such as the collectivisation of agricultural land, the expansion of the mining industry and disasters such as the Chernobyl explosion, Anna Barcz opens up new understandings of local political traditions and examines how they might be harnessed in the cause of contemporary environmental activism. The book covers works by writers such as Christa Wolf, the Nobel Prize winner Svetlana Alexievich and film-makers such as B駘a Tarr, Andrzej Wajda and Wladyslaw Pasikowski.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anna Barcz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350200646\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350200647\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.53d","brand":"Anna Barcz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44075587961087,"sku":"9781350200647","price":40.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a37ad0e1-aa21-4bd9-aa02-8605d5e588a3.jpg?v=1685460311","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/environmental-cultures-in-soviet-east-anna-barcz-9781350200647","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
