Katherine Verdery / The Political Lives of Dead Bodies (Large Paperback)

Product Description

Since 1989, scores of bodies across Eastern Europe have been exhumed and brought to rest in new gravesites. Katherine Verdery investigates why certain corpses―the bodies of revolutionary leaders, heroes, artists, and other luminaries, as well as more humble folk―have taken on a political life in the turbulent times following the end of Communist Party rule, and what roles they play in revising the past and reorienting the present. Enlivening and invigorating the dialogue on postsocialist politics, this imaginative study helps us understand the dynamic and deeply symbolic nature of politics―and how it can breathe new life into old bones.
