This extraordinaiy book provides a snapshot of socialism throughout the Kádár regime in Hungar/ (1956-1989) and captures the essence of the worid behind the 'iron curtain' in a stunning, and often stark, collection of photographs.
Unfinished Socialism is a visually stunning anthropological study containing 450 photographs, many previously unpublished, which portray life in Hungary from every angle: from the May Day March to pop music and from the homeless to sport.
With an introduction that will help the reader understand and appreciate the true meaning of the photographs, this political, social and cultural study of the Kádár years transports the reader back to a time of great significance in Hungary's long and turbulent history.
