Bøker av Barbara Klich-Kluczewska

The field of biopolitics encompasses issues from health and hygiene, birth rates, fertility and sexuality, life expectancy and demography, to eugenics and racial regimes. This book is the first to provide a comprehensive view on these issues for Central and Eastern Europe in the 20th century.

By using the perceptions of divorce, single motherhood, domestic violence and aborion as examples, the book answers fundamental questions pertaining to the processes of negotiating mentality shifts in communist Poland in the years 1956-1989.
