Free to Hate: The Rise of the Right in Post-Communist Eastern Europe - Hardcover
Combining first-hand reporting, original documentation, and political analysis, Free to Hate is the first major work in English to investigate the rise of the ultra-nationalist and radical right-wing movements that have been sweeping Central and Eastern Europe since 1989. In this powerful volume, Paul Hockenos provides an account of the emergence and contemporary relevance of far right movements in countries including Germany, Hungary, Romania, and Poland. In addition, he discusses neo-Nazi youth subculture, anti-Semitism, racism, minority issues, and the revision of history in the post-communist states.

From Library Journal:
The collapse of communism in Eastern Europe was followed by a resurgence of nationalism that easily swelled into violence. Hockenos, Eastern European correspondent for In These Times , here conducts us on a sobering tour of a region newly "free to hate." Proceeding country by country, he offers a closely reasoned account not only of events but of the possible cause of right-wing ethnic hatreds. Fair-minded enough to present different theories, he finally concludes that the young thugs who perpetuate this violence--with the passive support of a surprisingly large percentage of their elders--are not alienated misfits but the legacy of "the authoritarian, petty bourgeois mindset that the state had nurtured." Hockenos does not rely solely on a journalist's knack for anecdote to convey his ideas; his text fairly bristles with facts and figures evidently gleaned from careful research and may therefore be a bit daunting to the average reader. Still, anyone interested in the fate of Eastern Europe will want to read this book.
