The Power of Symbols Against the Symbols of Power
The Rise of Solidarity and the Fall of State Socialism in Poland
Jan Kubik
“Jan Kubik brings a sophisticated anthropological and cultural-studies perspective to this important study of Poland in the waning years of communist rule. He stresses the central role of symbolism and discourse in the maintenance and construction of political power. This is a powerful paradigm and one that I think will attract even more attention in the East European context in future years as new social-political systems are constructed and as new ideologies replace the old.”
