"Appearing on the world stage in 1918, Lithuania suffered numerous invasions, border
changes and large scale population displacements.The successive occupations of Stalin
in 1940 and Hitler in 1941, mass deportations to the Gulag and the elimination of
the Jewish community in the Holocaust gave the horrors of World War II a special ferocity.
Moreover, the fighting continued after 1945 with the anti-Soviet insurrection, crushed
through mass deportations and forced collectivization in 1948-1951. At no point, however,
did the process of national consolidation take a pause, making Lithuania an improbably
representative case study of successful nation-building in this troubled region. As
postwar reconstruction gained pace, ethnic Lithuanians from the countryside--the only
community to remain after the war in significant numbers--were mobilized to work in
the cities. They streamed into factory and university alike, creating a modern urban
society, with new elites who had a surprising degree of freedom to promote national
culture. This book describes how the national cultural elites constructed a Soviet
Lithuanian identity against a backdrop of forced modernization in the fifties and
sixties, and how they subsequently took it apart by evoking the memory of traumatic
displacement in the seventies and eighties, later emerging as prominent leaders of
the popular movement against Soviet rule"
