Description

Explore the hidden dimensions of life in the Eastern Bloc with Socialist Escapes by Berghahn Books. While physical borders were often closed during the Cold War, people found ways to break away from party ideology and the routines of everyday life through different forms of leisure. This collection of essays examines how individuals sought freedom in unexpected places. Readers can learn about the various sites that facilitated these escapes, including beaches, campgrounds, nightclubs, and soccer matches. The book examines the role of cultural consumption, such as concerts and cars, in navigating the social landscape of the era. These chapters investigate how state efforts to engineer society through entertainment and leisure programming interacted with the lived experiences of people in Eastern Europe from 1945 to 1989.
