Notes: "Across the Third World, people grew up reading inexpenxive, beautifully-produced books from the Soviet Union - children's books, classics of world literaure, books on science and mathematics,  works of Marxist theory. The first half of the East was read is a homage to the lost world of Soviet books. ... The second half of the book pivots from the page to the stage ... The East was read is a treasure trove of sparkling essays on the impact of socialist culture in various parts of the Third World ..."--Back cover.
