Wielkie rozczarowanie. Geneza rewolucji Solidarności
System komunistyczny nie musiał upaść. Czy pojawienie się kryzysu po okresie długotrwałej poprawy warunków życia mogło doprowadzić do rewolucji roku 1980? Marcin Zaremba uzupełnia i dokonuje rewizji stanu wiedzy na temat genezy rewolucji Solidarności. Jego książka objaśnia przełomowe wydarzenia w najnowszej historii Polski. Jest także fascynującą podróżą odkrywającą mechanizmy funkcjonowania PRL-owskiego społeczeństwa. Jak na nastroje społeczne wpływała zachodnia muzyka czy prasa dostępna w czasach gierkowskiego otwarcia na świat? W jaki sposób wcześniejsze bunty i zrywy kształtowały pamięć zbiorową Polaków? W rozważaniach Marcina Zaremby mitologizowane czasy gierkowskie stają się tytułowym „wielkim rozczarowaniem”, kiedy „okazało się, że «bigos» się skończył, kolejki pod sklepami wydłużyły jak nigdy dotąd, a w głowach pozostała myśl, że może być lepiej”.
The Last Decade of the Cold War
The 1980s was a period of almost unprecedented rivalry and tension between the two main actors in the East-West conflict, the United States and the Soviet Union. Why and how that conflict first escalated and thereafter, in an amazingly swift process, was reversed and brought to its peaceful conclusion at the end of the decade is the topic of this volume. With individual contributions by eighteen well-known scholars of international relations and history from various countries, the book addresses the role of the United States, the former Soviet Union, and the countries of western and eastern Europe in that remarkable last decade of the Cold War, and discusses how particular events as well as underlying political, ideological, social, and economic factors may have contributed to the remarkable transformation that took place.
Imagining the World from Behind the Iron Curtain
The Sixties occupy a prominent place in popular culture and scholarship as an era of global upheavals, including the Civil Rights Movement, de-colonization, radical social movements, student and youth protests, and the Vietnam War. This pioneering book explores the seemingly isolated Eastern bloc and a non-capitalist context, demonstrating the impact of those global upheavals on young people in Poland in the form of international youth culture, protest movements, and counterculture.
Human Rights in Europe during the Cold War
This book provides an overview of the establishment, dispersion and effects of human rights in Europe during the Cold War. The struggle for human rights did not begin at the end of the Second World War. For centuries, political associations, religious societies and individuals had been fighting for political freedom, religious tolerance, freedom of expression, freedom of thought and the right to participate in politics. However, the world was awakened by the atrocities of the Second World War and the idea that every person should have certain perpetual and inalienable rights was set out in The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) from 1948, which contained an enumeration of internati...
Captive University
This comparative history of the higher education systems in Poland, East Germany, and the Czech lands reveals an unexpected diversity within East European stalinism. With information gleaned from archives in each of these places, John Connelly offers a valuable case study showing how totalitarian states adapt their policies to the contours of the societies they rule. The Communist dictum that universities be purged of "bourgeois elements" was accomplished most fully in East Germany, where more and more students came from worker and peasant backgrounds. But the Polish Party kept potentially disloyal professors on the job in the futile hope that they would train a new intelligentsia, and Czech...
