{"product_id":"9781529213607","title":"White But Not Quite : Central Europe's Illiberal Revolt by Ivan Kalmar","description":"Since the `migration crisis' of 2016, long-simmering tensions between the Western members of the European Union and its `new' Eastern members - Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary - have proven to be fertile ground for rebellion against liberal values and policies. In this startling and original book Ivan Kalmar argues that Central European illiberalism is a misguided response to the devastating effects of global neoliberalism, which arose from the area's brutal transition to capitalism in the 1990s.   Kalmar argues that dismissive attitudes towards `Eastern Europeans' are a form of racism and explores the close relation between racism towards Central Europeans and racism by Central Europeans: a people white but not quite.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56303784231285,"sku":"9781529213607","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781529213607.jpg?v=1762794907","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781529213607","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
