This open access book explores the ambiguity of East Central Europe
during the twentieth century, examining local contexts through a
comparative and transnational reworking of theoretical models in
postcolonial studies. Since the early modern period, East Central
Europe has arguably been an object of imperialism. However, at the
same time East Central European states have been seen to be
colonial actors, with individuals from the region often associating
themselves with colonial discourses in extra-European contexts.
Spanning a broad time period until after the Second World War and
covering the governance of Communism and its legacies, the book
examines how cultural and literary narratives from East Central
Europe have created and revised historical knowledge, making use of
collective memory to feed into identity models.
