An endorsement from Jodi Dean!

I received a great Christmas present this morning: a lovely endorsement from Political Scientist Jodi Dean for my forthcoming book, Red Hangover: Legacies of 20th Century Communism.

“Kristen Ghodsee courageously confronts the liberal triumphalism that refuses to learn from seventy years of state socialism, acknowledge the tragic human costs of forced privatization, or recognize the gross inequities of capitalism. Her brilliant essays and stories provide a potent allegory of our present condition: the real cost of the continued demonization of socialism is democracy.” — Jodi Dean, author of, Democracy and Other Neoliberal Fantasies: Communicative Capitalism and Left Politics
