Suvin's 'X-Ray' of Socialist Yugoslavia offers an indispensable
overview of a unique and often overlooked twentieth-century
socialism. It shows that the plebeian surge of revolutionary
self-determination was halted in SFR Yugoslavia by 1965; that
between 1965- 72 there was a confused and hidden but still
open-ended clash; and that by 1972 the oligarchy in power was
closed and static, leading to failure. The underlying reasons of
this failure are analysed in a melding of semiotics and political
history, which points beyond Yugoslavia - including its
achievements and degeneration - to show how political and economic
democracy fail when pursued in isolation. The emphasis on socialist
Yugoslavia is at various points embedded into a wider historical
and theoretical frame, including Left debates about the party,
sociological debates about classes, and Marx's great foray against
a religious State doctrine in The Jewish Question.
