This book delves into the cultural economy of protest, focusing on Slovakia and East Central Europe. It explores the origins of political movements, both progressive and reactionary, by examining resilient agrarian features. It highlights how the legacy of rural socialist modernization shapes contemporary politics and the emergence of a 'village version of fascism' in the region. The chapters examine the interplay between post-peasant economic and political habits and representations in the context of state-socialism and the European project. Juraj Buzalka characterizes Slovak citizens as post-socialist Europeans with a connection to the countryside who believe that rural areas hold the true power in society. He also observes politicians who skillfully mobilize post-peasants while taking advantage of the political-economic context of the European Union.

This volume is of interest to scholars studying European society and politics, particularly protest and populism, from disciplines such as anthropology, sociology, political science, and history. It provides valuable insights into the complex dynamics of cultural, economic, and political processes in the region.
