This book contains
analyses and case studies regarding the former political prisoners’ and their
families’ fates impacted by the Communist dictatorships in Central and Eastern
Europe (Romania, Poland, Lithuania, Republic of Moldova, Albania).
The focus of
research is extended from the individuals to the social context in which they
functioned, as they were actors in flawed systems which were ready to harshly
limit not only their actions but also of those closest to them.
The case
studies trace disruptions and distortions of broken lives along with strategies
to reclaim and restore an apparent “normalcy”.
The book is a result of the UEFISCDI project "Strategies of Survival and Socio-Vocational Integration
in the Families of Former Political Prisoners in the First Two Decades of the Communist
Regime". More details about project here.
