CAMBRIDGE IMPERIAL AND POST-COLONIAL STUDIES ...

This open access book explores the ambiguity of East Central Europe during the twentieth
century  examining local contexts through a comparative and transnational reworking of
theoretical models in postcolonial studies. Since the early modern period  East Central Europe
has arguably been an object of imperialism. However  at the same time East Central European
states have been seen to be colonial actors  with individuals from the region often associating
themselves with colonial discourses in extra-European contexts. Spanning a broad time period
until after the Second World War and covering the governance of Communism and its legacies  the
book examines how cultural and literary narratives from East Central Europe have created and
revised historical knowledge  making use of collective memory to feed into identity models.
