Everyday Life in Mass Dictatorship - Collusion and Evasion (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2015)

Oppression and violence are often cited as the pivotal aspects of modern dictatorships, but it is the collusion of large majorities that enable these regimes to function. The desire for a better life and a powerful national, if not imperial community provide the basis for the many forms of people's cooperation explored in this volume.
