{"product_id":"9780253112293","title":"Living Gender after Communism","description":"\u003cp\u003eHow has the collapse of communism across Europe and Eurasia changed\u003cbr\u003e gender? In addition to acknowledging the huge costs that fell heavily on women,\u003cbr\u003e Living Gender after Communism suggests that moving away from communism in Europe and\u003cbr\u003e Eurasia has provided an opportunity for gender to multiply, from varieties of\u003cbr\u003e neo-traditionalism to feminisms, from overt negotiation of femininity to denials of\u003cbr\u003e gender. This development,in turn, has enabled some women in the region to construct\u003cbr\u003e their own gendered identities for their own political, economic, or social purposes.\u003cbr\u003e Beginning with an understanding of gender as both a society-wide institution that\u003cbr\u003e regulates people's lives and a cultural \"toolkit\" which individuals and\u003cbr\u003e groups may use to subvert or \"transvalue\" the sex\/gender system, the\u003cbr\u003e contributors to this volume provide detailed case studies from Belarus, Bosnia, the\u003cbr\u003e Czech Republic, Poland, Romania, Russia, and Ukraine. This collaboration between\u003cbr\u003e young scholars -- most from postcommunist states -- and experts in the fields of\u003cbr\u003e gender studies and postcommunism combines intimate knowledge of the area with\u003cbr\u003e sophisticated gender analysis to examine just how much gender realities have shifted\u003cbr\u003e in the region.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContributors are Anna Brzozowska, Karen Dawisha,\u003cbr\u003e Nanette Funk, Ewa Grigar, Azra Hromadzic, Janet Elise Johnson, Anne-Marie Kramer,\u003cbr\u003e Tania Rands Lyon, Jean C.
