Description

This Routledge academic work examines how Western identity and ideals were constructed through the demonization of communist Eastern Europe and its cultures following the transition to capitalist democracy after 1989 and the Yugoslav wars. The book addresses a largely neglected dimension of post-communist Eastern European scholarship: how the West defined itself in opposition to Eastern European regimes portrayed as totalitarian and barbarian. Drawing on historical, political science, and literary perspectives, it explores the formation of new identities across Eastern European nations in the absence of communist ideological frameworks, whilst simultaneously analysing the colonial discourse embedded in Western representations of the region's civilisational status and boundaries.

Key Features

Part of the BASEES/Routledge Series on Russian and East European Studies, providing scholarly context within established academic publishing networks.

Addresses post-1989 Eastern European transitions and the impact of Yugoslav wars on identity formation across the region.

Examines Western construction of identity through analysis of how Eastern European cultures were demonized and othered.

Combines historical, political science, and literary approaches to a previously underexplored aspect of post-communist discourse.

Published by Routledge, a leading academic publisher specialising in rigorous examination of Eastern European studies.
