Review of Gender, Pleasure, and Violence

Anita Kurimay in Journal of Contemporary Central and Eastern Europe:

‚In its nuanced analysis of the Polish post-1989 landscape Gender, Pleasure, and Violence portrays the complex legacies of state-socialism. Through the readings of expert opinions on what constitutes “good sex” pre- and post-1989 (Part Two) along with considering the evolution of sexological and legal expert opinions on rape (Part Three), the book illustrates the specific ways in which the political transition of 1989 affected gender and sexual rights as well as discourses on sex.’
