DESCRIPTION

How We Survived Communism &Even Laughed

&#8220Shis a writer and journalist whose voice belongs to the world.&#8221nbsp&#8212nbspGloria

SteinemThis essay collection from renowned journalist and novelist Slavenka Drakulic, which quickly

became a modern (and feminist) classic, draws back the Iron Curtain for a glimpse at the lives of Eastern

European women under Communist regimes. Provocative, witty, and intensely personal, How We

Survived Communism and Even Laughed cracks open a paradoxical world that through its rejection of

capitalism and commoditization ends up fetishizing both.Examining the relationship between material

goods and expressions of happiness and individuality in a society where even bananas were an alien

luxury, Drakulic homes in on the eradication of female identity, drawing on her own experiences as well

as broader cultural observations. Enforced communal housing that allowed for little privacy, the

banishment of many time-saving devices, and a focus on manual labor left no room for such bourgeois

affectations as cosmetics or clothes, but Drakulic&#8217sremarkable exploration of the reality behind the

rhetoric reveals that women still went to desperate lengths to feel &#8220feinine.&#8221Ho We Survived

Communism and Even Laughed also chronicles the lingering consequences of such regimes. The Berlin

Wall may have fallen, but Drakulic&#8217spower pieces testify that ideology cannot be dismantled so

quickly a lifetime lived in fear cannot be so easily forgotten.
