Rehak's examination of how political oppression and recovery reshape subjectivity speaks to some key issues in contemporary scholarship on political violence, history, and memory. -- Susanna Trnka, The University of Auckland\u003cbr\u003eA powerful testimony of the brutal era of Czech Communist supremacy. The author's personal remarks and compassion for victims—the political prisoners that she interviewed over the years—make this book the most knowledgeable and passionate read. -- Karen von Kunes\u003cbr\u003eJana Rehak’s book is a combination of rich theoretical content and analysis with a heartfelt identification with former political prisoners in her Czech homeland.
