OC TransitionOCO is the name typically given to the time of radical change following the fall of communism, connoting a shift from planned to market economy, from dictatorship to democracy. Transition is also, in Michael KennedyOCOs analysis, a culture in its own rightOCowith its own contentions, repressions, and unrealized potentials. By elaborating transition as a culture of power and viewing it in its complex relation to emancipation, nationalism, and war, KennedyOCOs book clarifies the transformations of postcommunism as well as, more generally, the ways in which culture articulates social change."
