Post-Communist Malaise: Cinematic Responses to European Integration

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Post-Communist Malaise examines political modernism within the context of post-communist Eastern Europe and the Balkans. It focuses on how select cinemas from the regions critique European unification and how they represent related issues like the transition from communism to free-market capitalism, the Euro crisis and austerity, and the rise of nationalism and right-wing politics.
