Description:
Since 1989, scores of bodies across Eastern Europe have been exhumed and brought to rest in new gravesites. Verdery investigates why certain corpses have taken on political life in the turbulent times following the end of Communist Party rule.
Review Quotes: Verdery certainly deserves praise for having opened up an intriguing (and understudied) topic. The book leaves us hoping for a sequel.--Derek Bickerton "The New York Times Book Review"
