This book delves into the cultural economy of protest, specifically in Slovakia and East Central Europe, exploring the origins of political movements, both progressive and reactionary. It sheds light on how resilient agrarian features shape these movements and influences contemporary politics. The author emphasizes the legacy of rural socialist modernization and the emergence of a "village version of fascism" in the region. The chapters examine the interplay between post-peasant economic and political habits and representations in the context of state-socialism and the European project. Juraj Buzalka characterizes Slovak citizens as post-socialist Europeans with a strong connection to the countryside, who believe that rural areas hold the true power in society. He also observes politicians who skillfully mobilize post-peasants while taking advantage of the political-economic context of the European Union.

This volume is of significant interest to scholars engaged in the study of European society and politics, particularly in the areas of protest and populism. It draws upon disciplines such as anthropology, sociology, political science, and history to provide a comprehensive analysis of the topic. By examining the cultural economy of protest, this book offers valuable insights into the complex dynamics and social transformations occurring in East Central Europe and beyond.
