How has Hungary, a country once in the vanguard of political & economic reform under Communism, become a chilling example of the new threats confronting democracy in Central Europe? The return of Hungary`s demons of the past
- nationalism, ethnic hatred, deeply-rooted corruption & authoritarian tendencies
- has engendered international concern. Since winning a two-thirds majority in parliament in the spring of 2010, the dynamic right-wing populist Prime Minister Viktor Orban has embarked on a sweeping & ruthless concentration of power & has sought to reshape the state in his own image. A new constitution & a sweeping series of laws & decrees
- radical changes in the judicial & electoral system & the dismantling of constitutional safeguards ensuring the autonomy of the executive branch & the freedom of the media
- seem destined to ensure a long-term hegemony of the far right. Meanwhile a campaign of vituperative nationalist rhetoric & the granting of voting rights to 2.5 million ethnic Hungarians living in neighbouring countries are bound to increase tensions in this volatile corner of Europe. Lendvai offers readers an unsparing & dispassionate account, based on his intimate personal knowledge of Hungary`s major political figures & its political culture, of the turbulent events since the collapse of the Communist regime which affect not only Hungary, but also the political & economic stability of the Danube basin.

Before Carrie Brownstein became a music icon, she was a young girl growing up in the Pacific Northwest just as it was becoming the setting for one the most important movements in rock history. Seeking a sense of home & identity, she would discover both while moving from spectator to creator in experiencing the power & mystery of a live performance. With Sleater-Kinney, Brownstein & her bandmates rose to prominence in the burgeoning underground feminist punk-rock movement that would define music & pop culture in the 1990s. They would be cited as ” America`s best rock band” by legendary music critic Greil Marcus for their defiant, exuberant brand of punk that resisted labels & limitations, & redefined notions of gender in rock. Hunger Makes Me a Modern Girl is an intimate & revealing narrative of her escape from a turbulent family life into a world where music was the means toward self-invention, community, & rescue. Along the way, Brownstein chronicles the excitement & contradictions within the era`s flourishing & fiercely independent music subculture, including experiences that sowed the seeds for the observational satire of the popular television series Portlandia years later. With deft, lucid prose Brownstein proves herself as formidable on the page as on the stage. Accessibly raw, honest & heartfelt, this book captures the experience of being a young woman, a born performer & an outsider, & ultimately finding one`s true calling through hard work, courage & the intoxicating power of rock & roll. ...
