Behind the News: Kristen Ghodsee on Post-Communist Eastern Europe
November 27, 2017
Ethnographer Kristen Ghodsee returns to the show to discuss Red Hangover, her new book on the traumas of post-Communist life in Eastern Europe. Unique for an academic text, the book is a series of essays with fictional sketches that evoke the complexities of life under Communism and the poverty and displacement that came with its demise.
