Living Gender after Communism
How has the collapse of communism across Europe and Eurasia changed gender?

The new edition is complete with a double page on Fatra and new toys made by Czech contemporary designers continuing in the tradition of Mrs Niklová's art work"--Publisher's web site.

All of the essays work through Deleuze’s und...
