Description

This history of the revolutions that toppled communism in Europe, looks behind the scenes at the grassroots movements that made those revolutions happen. It looks for answers not in the salons of power brokers, not in decrepit economies - but in the whirlwind of activity of musicians, artists and guerrilla theatre collectives subverting traditions and state power. Melding his experience in Solidarity-era Poland with the sensibility of a historian, Padraic Kenney argues that these movements were active well before glasnost. Some protested military or environmental policy. Others sought to revive national traditions. Many crossed forbidden borders to meet their counterparts in neighbouring countries. They all conquered fear and apathy to bring people out into the streets.
