This volume shows not only how authenticity came to define a variety of social contexts, but also how it helped to lay the groundwork for the neoliberalism of a subsequent era.
Covers protest movements and counter cultures across the Iron Curtain.
Develops a conceptual framework to understand protests in different national contexts.
Problematizes "authenticity" in the post-World War II era (which has hitherto been scantly researched).
Argues that many cultural movements emerged parallel on both sides of the Iron Curtain.
