This is Volume 2 of Dangerous Language. This book examines the rise
of the international language Esperanto, launched in 1887 as a
proposed a solution to national conflicts and a path to a more
tolerant world. The chapters in this volume examine the position of
Esperanto in Eastern Europe during the Cold War; in particular it
explores Stalin's final years and the gradual re-emergence of the
Esperanto movement. At first, its revival was limited to the
satellite countries, especially Bulgaria and Poland, but, with
Stalinism's gradual retreat, Esperanto organizations reappeared in
most East European countries and eventually in the Soviet Union
itself. The progress was uneven, and its details reveal the
stresses and strains that became apparent as the solidarity of the
Soviet bloc declined. This book will appeal to a wide readership,
including linguists, historians, political scientists and others
interested in the history of the twentieth century from the unusual
perspective of language. This volume is complemented by the sister
volume Dangerous Language - Esperanto under Hitler and Stalin which
offers a concentration on the creation and early emergence of
Esperanto as an international language.
