Rezensionen

Melissa Feinberg offers a fresh view on a momentous historical period through the prism of lived experience and a decisively comparative perspective. Extending into the 21^st century, this book is comprehensive while crisp, accessible, and relatable, a must-read for anyone interested in the region and the time.

Theodora Dragostinova, Associate Professor of History, Ohio State University

Melissa Feinberg's Communism in Eastern Europe is a major achievement, integrating the latest scholarship on the region in lucid and engaging prose. The book illustrates key developments in the political, economic, social, and cultural life of Communist Eastern Europe with lively accounts of the every-day lives of ordinary citizens. Communism in Eastern Europe is well-suited to students of Cold War Europe, and to all readers seeking a compact synthesis of recent work on consumption, gender, and everyday life in the region. It is also a pleasure to read and would be a fine companion for travelers to Central and Eastern Europe who want to understand the uneven path these countries have taken to European and global integration since the revolutions of 1989.
