Zsuzsa Gille combines social history, cultural analysis, and
environmental sociology to advance a long overdue social theory of
waste in this study of waste management, Hungarian state socialism,
and post Cold War capitalism. From 1948 to the end of the Soviet
period, Hungary developed a cult of waste that valued reuse and
recycling. With privatization the old environmentally beneficial,
though not flawless, waste regime was eliminated, and dumping and
waste incineration were again promoted. Gille s analysis focuses on
the struggle between a Budapest-based chemical company and the
small rural village that became its toxic dump site."
