-- S???ndor Horv???th is a returning IU Press author whose previous title was very well-reviewed and has proven to already make an important impact on research in the field. In addition to his roles at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, he is also the coordinator of the international research project "Cultural Opposition: Understanding the Cultural Heritage of Dissent in the Former Socialist Countries" and he is the editor of the journal The Hungarian Historical Review . -- While a book connecting the Rolling Stones, Hungarian hippie culture, and the nefarious agendas of the communist secret police may be of interest to some general readers, this title breaks important new ground in understanding youth culture, identity politics, and the memory of life under a dictatorship. -- The audience is scholars working on Communist Eastern Europe, youth politics, cultural anthropologists and sociologists, as well as schoars working on political cultures and historical representations. It is also of interest to media historians and those working on modern dictatorships. The language throughout is appropriate for upper-level undergraduates.
