Routledge - Postcolonial Perspectives on Postcommunism in CEE

Explore the complex dynamics of Central and Eastern Europe through a new academic lens. Published by Routledge, this book addresses the historical neglect of postcommunism within the broader analysis of postcolonial and neo-colonial power structures. Set in a post-Cold War and globalised world, the text provides a necessary framework for understanding how influence and power operate in the region today. This work introduces critical perspectives on essential themes that have emerged from postcolonial studies. It examines how structures of inclusion and exclusion shape modern societies, alongside the formation of nationalism and the ways difference is represented. By connecting postcommunism to global power configurations, this book offers a fresh way to study the historical realisations of influence in Europe. It is a vital resource for students and researchers interested in the intersection of history, politics, and postcolonial theory.
