"In Paradoxes of Nostalgia Penny M. Von Eschen offers a sweeping examination of the
Cold War's afterlife and the lingering shadows it casts over geopolitics, journalism,
and popular culture. She shows how myriad forms of nostalgia across the globe-from
those that posit a mythic national past to those critical of neoliberalism that remember
a time when people believed in the possibility of a collective good-indelibly shape
the post-cold war era. When Western triumphalism moved into global South and former
eastern bloc spaces, many articulated a powerful sense of loss and a longing for stability.
Innovatively bringing together diplomatic archives, museums, films, and video games,
Von Eschen shows that as the United States continuously sought new enemies for its
unipolar world, Cold War triumphalism fueled the ascendancy of xenophobic right-wing
nationalism and the embrace of authoritarian sensibilities in the United States and
beyond. Ultimately, she demonstrates that triumphalist claims that capitalism and
military might won the cold war distort the past and disfigure the present, undermining
democratic values and institutions"
