Frontmatter -- Contents -- Narratives Unbound: A Brief Introduction to Post-Communist Historical Studies -- Fine-Tuning the Polyphonic Past: Hungarian Historical Writing in the 1990s -- From the Splendid Past into the Unknown Future: Historical Studies in Poland after 1989 -- A Difficult Quest for New Paradigms: Czech Historiography after 1989 -- Wedged Between National and Trans-National History: Slovak Historiography in the 1990s -- Mastering vs. Coming to Terms with the Past: A Critical Analysis of Post- Communist Romanian Historiography -- Historical Studies in Post-Communist Bulgaria: Between Academic Standards and Political Agendas -- List of Contributors
Summary: The first work that covers the post-Communist development of historical studies in six Eastern European countries: Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and Slovakia. A uniquely critical and qualitative analysis from a comparative and critical perspective, written by scholars from the region itself. Focusing on the first post-Communist decade, 1989–1999, the book offers a longer-term perspective that includes the immediate 'prehistory' of that momentous decade as well as its 'posthistoire'. The authors capture the spirit of 1989, that heady mix of elation, surprise, determination, and hope: l'ivresse du possible. This was the paradoxical beginning of Eastern European post-Communism: ushered in by 'anti-Utopian' revolutions, and slowly finding its course towards a bureaucratic, imitative, challenging, and anachronistic restoration of a capitalism that had changed almost beyond recognition when it had mutated into the negative double of Communism. Each individual chapter has numerous and detailed notes and references.
