Book Synopsis Remembering Utopia by : Breda Luthar

Download or read book Remembering Utopia written by Breda Luthar and published by New Academia Publishing, LLC. This book was released on 2010 with total page 469 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The history of socialism lacks close accounts of the texture of life in the margins of society, which include narratives of the feelings, experiences and practices of ordinary people. This book provides them and undermines persisting interpretations of 'real' life under socialism, which rely on macro-studies of social structures and on the political and institutional histories of socialism. As such, the book is also an attempt to de-Westernize the discourse on Central/ Eastern Europe as Europe's periphert or its Orient. The culture of memory is evoked either through oral traditions or textual analyses of records of the public discourse. Both facets contribute to a cultural history of the era of socialism in Yugoslavia between 1945 and 1980 (Tito's death)" -- from back cover.
