The anthology presents a wide range of research on post-socialism and biographical retrospections on the socialist past. The authors, hailing from twelve different countries, discuss current or recently finished dissertation projects that are all based on oral-history-interviews. Taking the interviewees’ retrospections as point of departure for the observations, the anthology succeeds in presenting very diverse environments and individual ways of handling the past socialist world and the ongoing negotiations of different versions in interpreting the past in South-Eastern and Central Europe. However, the collection of the various horizons of experience of women and men, old and young, former victims and modern activists poses a problem to the systematization of the findings: can, should or must women’s patterns of retrospection and experience be discussed in a separate chapter?
