{"product_id":"narratives-unbound-bal-zs-trencsnyi-9789637326851","title":"Narratives Unbound: Historical Studies in Post-Communist Eastern Europe","description":"The first work that covers the post-Communist development of historical studies in six Eastern European countries: Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and Slovakia. A uniquely critical and qualitative analysis from a comparative and critical perspective, written by scholars from the region itself. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFocusing 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bal痙s Trencs駭yi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9637326855\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789637326851\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Central European University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/15\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 512\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.22h x 6.36w x 1.35d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2008 pg. 40","brand":"Bal痙s Trencs駭yi","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44169933193471,"sku":"9789637326851","price":121.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0645f6f0-4779-477b-b358-be36643e7133.jpg?v=1689655839","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/narratives-unbound-bal-zs-trencsnyi-9789637326851","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
