White But Not Quite

Más información sobre el libro

The book delves into the rise of illiberalism in Central Europe, particularly among Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary, as a reaction to the repercussions of global neoliberalism following their shift to capitalism in the 1990s. Ivan Kalmar critiques the prevailing dismissive attitudes towards Eastern Europeans, framing them as a form of racism. He examines the complex interplay of racism both directed at and emanating from Central Europeans, highlighting the unique socio-political dynamics of a region grappling with its identity.
