Book Review - The political myths in contemporary Romania

Summary/Abstract: On December 15, 2000 Gaspar Miklos Tamas published in Hungarian Elet es Irodalom a „Letter to my Romanian friends”, picked up by Dillema magazine in January of the following year, in which the philosopher is very worried about the far-right political direction in 2000s Romania. Of the ten questions of Tamas, the fifth is quite hefty for the Romanian national consciousness, namely: why Romania did not transform 1989 Revolution in a democratic myth. Romanian self-denial made the legitimation of a new democratic construction very difficult. For Tamas this cancellation of a democratic myth anticipated the cancellation of Romanian democratic reality. To better understand the problem posed by Tamas, the volume Political myths in contemporary Romania, published in 2012 at the European Institute Publishing House, edited by Sergiu Gherghina and Sergiu Mişcoiu includes a number of important contributions on regarding the political myth, by presenting a series of analysis of this political phenomena in contemporary Romania.
