Challenges of Modernity offers a broad account of the social and
economic history of Central and Eastern Europe in the twentieth
century and asks critical questions about the structure and
experience of modernity in different contexts and periods. This
volume focuses on central questions such as: How did the various
aspects of modernity manifest themselves in the region, and what
were their limits? How was the multifaceted transition from a
mainly agrarian to an industrial and post-industrial society
experienced and perceived by historical subjects? Did Central and
Eastern Europe in fact approximate its dream of modernity in the
twentieth century despite all the reversals, detours and third-way
visions? Structured chronologically and taking a comparative
approach, a range of international contributors combine a focus on
the overarching problems of the region with a discussion of
individual countries and societies, offering the reader a
comprehensive, nuanced survey of the social and economic history of
this complex region in the recent past. The first in a four-volume
set on Central and Eastern Europe in the twentieth century, it is
the go-to resource for those interested in the ‘challenges of
modernity‘ faced by this dynamic region.
