But at that time it seemed that darkness would last for ever’. Reverend Józef Tischner in 1950 ‘Today there are only three ways out: PPR (Polish Work­ ers’ Party), NSZ (National Armed Forces) or suicide. Joining the first is a shame, the second is stupidity, so are we really left with one choice — a suicide?’ A girl — from the high school in 1948 ‘I was personally amazed at the speed with which the Polish creative intelligentsia liberated themselves from the self-abasement in which they were plunged by the Stalinist terror.

The broader theme, www.rcin.org.pl 222 STANISŁAW SALMONOWICZ ‘Stalinism and the Intelligentsia’ has also aroused many written reflections both of the participants — witnesses of that era, and researchers — sociologists, psychologists and historians of litera­ ture; the least frequent opinions about this question have perhaps been expressed by professional historians.

    Short Guide to Fiction Writing Under Communism. the Case of Romania

THE CASE OF ROMANIA ABSTRACT The study reviews the circumstances under which fiction was published in Romania under the 50 years of communism – censorship, writers’ associations, publishing houses – and illustrates them with Norman Manea’s essays in his volume On Clowns: the Dictator and the Artist . KEY WORDS: fiction writing, Communism, Romania. [I]n a country where, until very recently, historiography and political philosophy were not allowed to question official ideology, literature often had to perform that function under the cover of its metaphoric indirection . (Călinescu 1991: 246) This study starts from the obvious fact that reading literature in countries under com- munism was a quite different experience than reading literature in the West. It begins by detailing the differences, starting with an analysis of the historical evolution of the role of the intellectual in East-Central European countries, as presented in Leon Volo- vici’s volume The Emergence of the Writer in Romanian Culture (Apariţia scriitorului în cultura română , 2004) It continues with an analysis of ‘the political mission of writers in the “people’s democracies,”’ based on Lucia Dragomir’s study in the collect- ive volume The Socialist Transformation. Politics of the Communist Regime between Ideology and Administration (“Transformarea socialistă.” Politici ale regimului comu- nist între ideologie şi administraţie , 2009) in order to identify how and why fiction writers there ended up committing, in Manea’s words, “the sin of dilettantism, (...) a remnant of the communist period, when the reader wanted to find in literature what he could not find in history, sociology, psychology, etc.

Contents ABSTRACT 3 INTRODUCTION 4 The Rise of Mahatma Gandhi 7 Satyagraha (Non-Violent Resistance) 9 The hopes and dreams for India 13 India after Gandhi 20 The people of India 30 CONCLUSION 36 WORKS CITED 38 2 Abstract India has been one of the fastest growing nations in the world in the past couple of decades. India, like the United States, was once under British rule. M.K. Gandhi and many others tried and were successful in pushing British rule out of their country and forging their own nation. Once India was freed from British rule, many of India’s prominent figures had views and dreams for the course the country would take, especially Gandhi. Today, India is a thriving country, with a population of over a billion, and is a major player in world political affairs. However, some wonder if Gandhi’s dream for India came true or if it is still a work in progress. This paper attempts to examine the ideal that Gandhi had in mind during the final years of his life and compare it to today’s modern day India. By looking at Gandhi’s own original work from his autobiography, his other writings and some sources from individuals that he worked with, it will give a picture of what Gandhi might have wanted for India.

While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been ussd, the quality is heavily dependent upon tha quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques Is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparentiy lacking from the document photographed Is "Missing Page(s)". If It was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or ssctlon, they are spliced Into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an Imago and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an Image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, It is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred Image. You will find a good Image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continua photoing from left to right In equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again - beginning below the first row and continuing on ·until complete. 4.

  • Introduction the Vietnamese Revolution in World History

    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-15402-5 — Vietnam's Communist Revolution Tuong Vu Excerpt More Information Introduction The Vietnamese Revolution in World History The odds are stacked against revolutionaries in any society. Most have never had a chance to wield state power because even weak govern- ments command sufi cient forces to defeat them. Even if revolutions suc- cessfully overthrow the ancien régime , young revolutionary states from France to Russia have often faced powerful foreign enemies that make their survival even more remarkable. This book focuses on Vietnam as one of those rare exceptions in modern world history when revolution succeeded and endured. In this study, I trace the worldview of Vietnamese revolutionaries over an eighty- year period, starting from the 1920s when they were a band of outlaws who dreamed of building a communist paradise; through the decades in between, when they struggled to seize power, build a new society, and defeat foreign interventions; and to the late 1980s when they attempted in vain to save socialism at home and abroad. The revolu- tion effectively ended then, but its legacies are surprisingly resilient: the communist regime is under tremendous pressure for change but has stubbornly refused to abandon its widely discredited ideology. Thus, this book places ideology at the center of nearly a century of modern Vietnamese history. I argue that ideology helped Vietnamese communists persevere against great odds, but did not lead them to success and left behind dismal legacies. In the popular image, Vietnamese revolutionaries appear as pragmatic nationalists who inherited strong patriotic traditions and whose heroism deserves great admiration.

He was, so the warrant read, subject to deportation under the "Act of October 16 , 1 9 1 8 , as amended, for the reason that you have been prior to entry a member of the following class: an alien who is a member of an organi­ zation which was the direct predecessor of the Communist Party of the United States, to wit The Communist Party of America."^ A hearing, originally arranged for April 7» 1953» but delayed until July 27 because of Corey's poor health, was held; but a ruling was not handed down at that time. The Special Inquiry Officer in charge of the case adjourned the hearing pending the receipt of a full report of Corey's activities o during the previous ten years. [The testimony during the hearing had focused primarily on Corey's early writings and political activities.] The hearing was not reconvened, and the question of the defendant's guilt or innocence, as charged, was never formally settled.
