Ivan Kalmar, White But Not Quite: Is There Anti-Eastern European Racism?
Discussion in English
In White But Not Quite: Central Europe’s Illiberal Revolt (2022), Ivan Kalmar examines the political and cultural developments in Central Europe, in particular the emergence of illiberal movements in post-communist societies such as the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland and Hungary. Kalmar analyses how historical experiences, nationalism and, in particular, the behaviour of the West after 1989 have shaped a form of resistance to liberalism and globalization. The book offers an in-depth perspective on the dynamics of these transformations.
The event will take place on Sunday, April 6, in Bremen and on Tuesday, April 8, in Oldenburg.
