How did political power function in the communist regimes of East
Central Europe after 1945? Making Sense of Dictatorship addresses
this question with a particular focus on the acquiescent behavior
of the majority of the population until, at the end of the 1980s,
their rejection of state socialism and its authoritarian world. The
authors refer to the concept of Sinnwelt, the way in which groups
and individuals made sense of the world around them. The essays
focus on the dynamics of everyday life and the extent to which the
relationship between citizens and the state was collaborative or
antagonistic. Each chapter addresses a different aspect of life in
this period, including modernization, consumption and leisure, and
the everyday experiences of "ordinary people," single mothers, or
those adopting alternative lifestyles. Empirically rich and
conceptually original, the essays in this volume suggest new ways
to understand how people make sense of everyday life under
dictatorial regimes.
