Communism through archival documents 2: Daily life during self-isolation

Year: 2018
Editors: Dr. Idrit Idrizi, Dr. Jonila Godole, Fatmiroshe Xhemalaj

The second volume provides the documents that highlight the everyday life during communism in 1970–1980, through concrete examples that make easier the understanding of the time when they happened. Through these publications, IDMC aims to raise awareness of teachers and high school students about the content of communist-era archival material, given that the public opinion has little information about them in general. Professional publications of the documents are rare. In textbooks they are missing. Meanwhile, in the media these materials are published regularly, but the approach towards them is often very problematic, as the main criterion of selection is sensationalism.
