- Description
- Individual contributions on the former German Democratic Republic, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Serbia, Romania, and Bulgaria provide empirical data and interpretive insights on postsocialist transformation analysed from a gendered perspective. Drawing on multiple methods and disciplines, these original papers advance scholarship in several fields, including anthropology, sociology, women's studies, law, comparative political science and regional studies. The analyses make clear that practices of gender, and ideas about the differences between women and men, have been crucial in shaping the social changes that have followed the collapse of communism.
