Requests:  0 Summary:  "A reflection on "freedom" in a dramatic, beautifully written memoir of the end of Communism in the Balkans. Lea Ypi grew up in the last Stalinist country in Europe: Albania, a place of queuing and scarcity, of political executions and secret police. While family members disappeared to what she was told were "universities" from which few "graduated", she swore loyalty to the Party. In her eyes, people were equal, neighbors helped each other, and children were expected to build a better world. Then the statues of Stalin and Hoxha were toppled. Almost overnight, people could vote and worship freely and invest in hopes of striking it rich. But factories shut, jobs disappeared and thousands fled to Italy, only to be sent back. Pyramid schemes bankrupted the country, leading to violence. One generation's dreams became another's disillusionment. As her own family's secrets were revealed, Lea found herself questioning what "freedom" really means. With acute insight and wit, Lea Ypi traces the perils of ideology, and what people need to flourish"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 949.6503 Ypi Yp Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 949.6503 Ypi Yp Checked In Add Copy to MyList Laupahoehoe P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 949.6503 Ypi Yp Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 949.6503 Ypi Yp Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 949.6503 Ypi Yp Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 949.6503 Yp Checked In Add Copy to MyList
