Abstract

The book Politics and the Slavic Languages written by Tomasz Kamusella is published in the respected Routledge series Histories of Central and Eastern Europe. As stated in the preface of the series, "the nations of Central and Eastern Europe experienced a time of momentous change in the period following the Second World War", but also later, during the Hungarian uprising and the Prague Spring, to name just the most prominent ones, as well as during tumultuous 1990s and onwards. Therefore, as the editors underline, "the volumes in this series will help shine a light on the experience of this key geopolitical zone and offer many lessons to be learned for the future".
