‘Georgia from 1991 to the present day’ – Eastern Perspectives

Drawing on her personal experiences as a journalist in Georgia, Tamar Iluridze takes us through key stages in the country’s recent history: including the early years of independence, marked by economic collapse, the civil war and the war in Abkhazia; the Rose Revolution and the Saakashvili era; the 2008 Russo-Georgian War; and, finally, the phenomenon of the ‘Georgian Dream’ and the challenges facing the country and its society today.

An authentic account from within Georgian society – covering Abkhazia and South Ossetia, hope and political struggle, everyday life in Tbilisi, and an increasingly difficult environment for critical journalism.
