Ebook: Cold War Reckonings: Authoritarianism and the Genres of Decolonization

Cold War Reckonings shows how the Cold War shaped culture and political power in the decolonizing world and gave rise, paradoxically, to authoritarian regimes of the so-called free world.

The author lucidly engages a wide range of cultural materials, including dissident literature, Cold War writers’ conferences, and contemporary literature and film that look back from our present to repressive regimes.
