Suppressed racism resurged in post-communist Europe after 1989

Evidence

This formulation accounts, for instance, for why former communist states after 1989 found themselves struggling with a variety of racist expressions — rabid anti-Semitism in East Germany, Russia, and Poland, anti-Roma sentiment in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Romania, ethnic cleansing in the former Yugoslavia, etc, - they had long sought to suppress. States in modernity are differentially located within the structures of racial globalities. — David Theo Goldberg, The Racial State, 137
