The essays in this collection make up the first study of "dropping
out" of late state socialism in Eastern Europe and the Soviet
Union. From Leningrad intellectuals and Berlin squatters to Bosnian
Muslim madrassa students and Romanian yogis, groups and individuals
across the Eastern Bloc rejected mainstream socialist culture. In
the process, multiple drop-out cultures were created, with their
own spaces, music, values, style, slang, ideology and networks.
Under socialism, this phenomenon was little-known outside the
socialist sphere. Only very recently has it been possible to
reconstruct it through archival work, oral histories and memoirs.
Such a diverse set of subcultures demands a multi-disciplinary
approach: the essays in this volume are written by historians,
anthropologists and scholars of literature, cultural and gender
studies. The history of these movements not only shows us a side of
state socialist life that was barely known in the west. It also
sheds new light on the demise and eventual collapse of late
socialism, and raises important questions about the similarities
and differences between Eastern and Western subcultures.
