25. 1956 Hungarian Revolution: Lasting Impacts From a Violent BacklashAgainst Foreign
This poster presents the third chapter in my book Chorus of Experiences Capturing Moments in Time: From the Siege of Budapest to Goulash Populism that uses oral histories of senior Hungarian women to explore the past and the present. The 1956 Revolution in Hungary can be seen as a populist movement in response to the harsh R谩kosi Era, and a response against the foreign occupation of the Russian Communists. I use both Ada and Zs贸fia鈥檚 stories to set up the cultural context of the period. Whereas Ada tells a powerful emotional story of loss, Zs贸fia more methodically outlines the series of events that occurred. These two stories are followed by the perspectives of others to more fully contextualize the experience and look at how the 1956 revolution fits a general pattern of populism as an expression of backlash against a foreign presence and as a means to regain control.
