ABSTRACT

During the last year I have found myself E-mailing and FAXing journal editors, about publishing on Post-Communist Central Europe. The editors have made it very clear which text they want:

I am really looking forward to reading your paper with tremendous anticipation. The issue it covers is obviously of enormous interest to learning and to emotion – few learning “experiments” can have been as far-reaching as the belated conversion to capitalism of Poland. I am hoping to find many interesting ways in which you have discussed emotion, ambivalence, anger, nostalgia, grief, mourning, rebirth and what not in this context.
