Communism in Eastern Europe is a groundbreaking new survey of the
history of Eastern Europe since 1945. It examines how Communist
governments came to Eastern Europe, how they changed their
societies and the legacies that persisted after their fall. Written
from the perspective of the 21st century, this book shows how
Eastern Europe's trajectory since 1989 fits into the longer history
of its Communist past. Rather than focusing on high politics,
Communism in Eastern Europe concentrates on the politics of daily
life, melding political history with social, cultural and gender
history. It tells the history of this complicated era through the
voices and experiences of ordinary people. By focusing on the
complex interactions of everyday life, Communism in Eastern Europe
illuminates the world Communism made in Eastern Europe, its
politics and culture, values and dreams, successes and failures.
This book is an engaging introduction to the history of Communist
Eastern Europe for any reader. It is ideal for adoption in a wide
array of undergraduate and graduate courses in 20th-century
European history.
