Music as Metaphor:
Communist Ideology's Impact on Eastern European Folk Music

This is a 30-page paper I wrote for my Humanities and Social Science Reference class at grad school. I figure I may as well put it up. If anyone ever reads it, I'd be interested in opinions, considering I am not a musicologist, historian, or any combination of the two. Any comments or corrections appreciated!
