| Synopsis: |
Postcommunism has joined the list of terms like postmodernity and postcolonialism that defines the spirit of our age. This text examines the validity and ramifications of the concept of postcommunism, and places it in the broader context of global change. The book also looks at the historical origins of postcommunism, and its practice in countries that had previously been communist. The text then situates it in a larger theoretical perspective, focusing on the challenge of finding adequate forms for political and national community in an increasingly fragmented world. |
