Free to Hate: The Rise of the Right in Post-Communist Eastern Europe

By Paul Hockenos and Paul Hochenos

Book Overview

Combining first-hand reporting, original documentation, and political analysis, Free to Hate is the first major work in English to investigate the rise of the ultra-nationalist and radical right-wing movements that have been sweeping Central and Eastern Europe since 1989. In this powerful volume, Paul Hockenos provides an account of the emergence and contemporary relevance of far right movements in countries including Germany, Hungary, Romania, and Poland. In addition, he discusses neo-Nazi youth subculture, anti-Semitism, racism, minority issues, and the revision of history in the post-communist states.

nice fat one

like a year ago i start reading it and i didn't like it very much (actually i closed it after 3 pages).Now im doing a research on skinheads & i kind of have to read it...and now that i really started reading it i like it!you really get to know the big picture and it is very nicely puted-even for me although i hate politics and stuff like thatso, if u are into things like that i recomand it-interesting stuff if u've got nothing else to do;)

it stole my cheese

If you haven't read this book, you should. Being more of a politically dumb ignoramus, it helps to trace back what you've been missing about early 90's eastern europe...how close we are to breaking down the world now, by racial separation, bigotry and pure fascism. This is a fascinating book. Read it. Bonus: punx vs skins, all interested parties must take a look.
