entertaining look at the changing face of the Eurovision Song Contest and the
political and cultural influences behind its kitsch and glitzy facade.
Do you think the world of the Eurovision Song Contest,
with its crazy props, even crazier dancers and crazier still songs has nothing
to do with serious European politics? Think again. The contest has been a
mirror for cultural, social and political developments in Europe ever since its
inauguration in 1956. It has been a voice of rebellion across the Iron Curtain,
the voice of liberation for both sexual and regional minorities and it even
once triggered a national revolution.
Eurovision! charts both the history of Europe and
the history of the Eurovision Song Contest over the last seven decades and
shows how seamlessly they interlink - and what an amazing journey it has been.
A new and updated edition, taking in all contests up to 2026.
