Book Synopsis Women in the Face of Change by : Annie Phizacklea
Download or read book Women in the Face of Change written by Annie Phizacklea and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-08 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The years 1989 and 1990 will probably be best remembered for the speed and breadth of political and economic change which swept through what used to be referred to as the Communist Bloc. With the disintegration of this bloc, there has been no shortage of western advice on how to `democratize' economy and politiy in these societies. However, little thought has been given to what this change means for the millions of women who have toiled for decades alongside men in the factories and fields as well as performing their `womanly mission' in the home. This collection from women in Eastern and Western Europe, and covering both Europe and China, poses many questions about the impact of change. It contributes to the debate that seeks to combat inertia and ethnocentrism within western feminism and also to the separate and the critical `women's voice' which is re-emerging in the Soviet Union, Eastern Europe and China.

Campbell, Foreign Affairs
Book Synopsis Hopes and Shadows by : James F. Brown
Download or read book Hopes and Shadows written by James F. Brown and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 1994 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the exuberance that marked the revolutions of 1989, the countries of Eastern Europe have faced the breathtakingly ambitious task of remaking their societies. Simultaneously they have sought to build liberal democracies based on market economics, while confronting reassertions of claims for national independence long suppressed. Taking up where his previous book Surge to Freedom ended, J. F. Brown's Hopes and Shadows analyzes the results of the first four years of Eastern Europe's separation from communist rule and the prospects for the future. The forces at work in the midst of this revolution are examined from a perspective that is necessarily both historical and contemporary as the complex relationship between the tasks that face these countries and the legacy of their communist and pre-communist past shape the difficult present. As the usefulness of the designation "Eastern Europe" is itself questioned, Brown provides both regional and country-by-country analysis of the political situation. The Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, and Poland are grouped together, as are Romania, Bulgaria, and Albania, to address questions such as the development of liberal democratic culture, the activation of democratic institutions and procedures, and the future of former communist bureaucracies. He considers the former Yugoslavia-now torn violently apart-largely as a separate case. The theoretical, political, social, financial, cultural, and psychological dimensions of the transition from socialism to a market economy are discussed in detail. The final aspect of this revolution, the failure of which most immediately threatens the entire process, is the attempt to build new and stable national statehoods. Brown explores the history and impact of the current reemergence of nationalism and the dangers it represents. A comprehensive and authoritative survey, J. F. Brown's analysis and presentation of the contemporary Eastern European political landscape will be essential reading for scholars and specialists and of great interest to general readers.

Book Synopsis Cities After the Fall of Communism by : John Czaplicka
Download or read book Cities After the Fall of Communism written by John Czaplicka and published by Woodrow Wilson Center Press. This book was released on 2009-02-10 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cities after the Fall of Communism traces the cultural reorientation of East European cities since 1989. Analyzing the architecture, commemorative practices, and urban planning of cities such as Lviv, Vilnius, and Odessa, the contributors to this volume demonstrate how history may be selectively re-imagined in light of present political and cultural realities. These essays show that while East European cities gravitate nostalgically toward Habsburg, Baltic, Imperial Russian, and Germanic pasts, they are also embracing new urban identities grounded in ethnic-national, European, Western, and global contexts. Ultimately, the editors argue that one can see a "New Europe" taking shape in these cities, where a strained discourse between different versions of the past and variously envisioned futures is being set in stone, steel, and glass.
Book Synopsis Revolution In East-central Europe by : David S Mason
Download or read book Revolution In East-central Europe written by David S Mason and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-06-26 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The year 1989 marked a turning point in world history, a watershed year of unprecedented drama and political significance. No matter how one looks at those events–as the fall of communism, the democratization of Eastern Europe, or the end of the cold war–it is important to understand how the world travelled the distance of time, space, and ideology to arrive at the Berlin Wall and tear it down. David Mason provides that understanding in a concise synthesis of history, politics, economics, sociology, literature, philosophy, and popular, as well as traditional, culture. He shows how all these elements combined to yield the year that effectively closed the twentieth century–and promised to launch the new century on a hopeful note. Starting with Poland's elections in June 1989, the countries of then-communist Eastern Europe one by one revolutionized their governments and their polities; Hungary opened its borders to the West, East Germany rushed through, Czechoslovakia elected Vaclav Havel president, Bulgaria changed both party and leadership, and Romania executed Ceausescu. Although Gorbachev enabled many of these changes, he did not cause them. The illumination of the complex symbiosis between dynamics in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union is one of the greatest contributions this book makes. With undercurrents emphasizing the power of ideas, the spirit of youth, and the multifaceted force of culture and ethnicity, Mason takes the reader far beyond the events of change and into their impetus and outcomes. He applies theories of social movements, democratization, and economic transition with an even hand, showing the interaction of their effects not only regionally but worldwide. The concluding chapter puts the revolutions in Eastern Europe into international perspective and highlights their impact on East-West relations, security alliances, and economic integration. Mason discusses the European Community, the United States and the Soviet Union, and the Third World in relation to the new East-Central European configuration. Using delightful and provocative cartoons from Eastern European and Soviet presses, interesting photos, valuable tables of data, and illuminating figures, Mason emphasizes important points about the role of nationalism, ethnicity, public opinion, and harsh economic reality in the revolutionary process.
Book Synopsis The Patriots' Revolution by : Mark Frankland
Download or read book The Patriots' Revolution written by Mark Frankland and published by Ivan R. Dee Publisher. This book was released on 1992 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning in apparently controlled fashion in Hungary in 1989, the retreat of communism picked up speed that summer when Poles won an overwhelming victory over their pro-Soviet rulers in free elections. East Germany and Czechoslovakia achieved freedom in the fall, with less violence than anyone believed possible. Only Romania, at the end of the year, witnessed a savage battle and the hurried execution of the worst of the eastern European dictators, Nicolae Ceausescu. In The Patriots' Revolution Mark Frankland, who reported on these dramatic events for the London Observer, describes how the once powerful communist system crumbled with little or no resistance in the face of demonstrators armed only with candles and slogans of protest. Drawing on more than thirty years' experience in Eastern Europe, Mr. Frankland re-creates what communism meant for Eastern Europeans and thus reveals the reasons for its breathtakingly rapid disappearance. Evoking the mood and preoccupations of these countries in the year of revolution, his colorful book allows the reader to relive one of the most extraordinary episodes in the history of the 20th century and provides the background for a better understanding of the new Eastern Europe.
