This is 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. It offers 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.
