This volume offers a new understanding of how information flowed between East and West during the Cold War, as well as the much broader circulation of cultural products instigated and sustained by these practices. By expanding the definitions of \u003cem\u003esamizdat\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003etamizdat\u003c\/em\u003e from explicitly political print publications to include other forms and genres, this volume investigates the wider cultural sphere of alternative and semi-official texts, broadcast media, reproductions of visual art and music, and, in the post-1989 period, new media. The underground circulation of uncensored texts in the Cold War era serves as a useful foundation for comparison when looking at current examples of censorship, independent media, and the use of new media in countries like China, Iran, and the former Yugoslavia.\u003cbr\u003e \t \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“The volume displays in exemplary fashion the entire spectrum of this dissident world; it would be great to see such well structured edited volumes like this one more often.”\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e• Archiv für Sozialgeschichte\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“[The editors] present a wide-ranging array of case studies of unofficial and oppositional media across the socialist bloc, which enrich the growing literature on samizdat while providing one of the first detailed accounts of tamizdat. Many chapters reconstruct the complex networks via which these media circulated to East European domestic audiences and, more important, to the transnational community that could offer theoretical and practical support for dissent outside the host countries.

Looking primarily but not exclusively to the Eastern Bloc, this volume skillfully stretches our understanding of samizdat to incorporate visual art, music, video, and the web. The editors bring together seemingly disparate samizdat ‘texts’ by placing them within the larger context of transnationalism, gender, and mass media. In so doing, they remind us that dissent is, first and foremost, a creative human endeavor, one that not only has a history but also a future.”\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e• Paulina Bren\u003c\/strong\u003e, Vassar College\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“The information and insights contained in this volume fill the gap in our knowledge about the vitality, diversity, and ongoing relevance of samizdat\/tamizdat and alternative media not only in the post-Communist states represented here, but in emerging democracies in other regions of the world, e.g. the Middle East and Asia.”\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e• Michael Long\u003c\/strong\u003e, Baylor University\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \tList of Illustrations\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eForeword\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \tAcknowledgements\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eSection I: Producing and Circulating Samizdat\/Tamizdat Before 1989\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 1.\u003c\/strong\u003e Ardis Facsimile and Reprint Editions: Giving Back Russian Literature\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eAnn Komaromi\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 2.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Baltic Connection: Transnational Networks of Resistance after 1976\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eFredrik Lars Stöcker\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 3.\u003c\/strong\u003e Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty as the ‘Echo Chamber’ of Tamizdat\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eFriederike Kind-Kovács\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 4.\u003c\/strong\u003e Contact Beyond Borders and Historical Problems: \u003cem\u003eKultura\u003c\/em\u003e, Russian Emigration and the Polish Opposition\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eKarolina Ziolo-Puzuk\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eSection II: Diffusing Non-Conformist Ideas Through Samizdat\/Tamizdat Before 1989\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 5.\u003c\/strong\u003e “Free Conversations in an Occupied Country:” Cultural Transfer, Social Networking and Political Dissent in Romanian Tamizdat\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eCristina Petrescu\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 6.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Danger of Over-Interpreting Dissident Writing in the West: Communist Terror in Czechoslovakia, 1948-1968\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eMuriel Blaive\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 7.\u003c\/strong\u003e Renaissance or Reconstruction?
