504 Includes bibliographical references and indexes
520 "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. The cataclysms of imperial collapse, World War(s)
and the Holocaust but also the rise of state socialism
after 1945 provided extraordinary and distinct conditions
for the governing of life and death. The volume collects
the latest research and empirical studies from the region
to showcase the diversity of biopolitical regimes in their
regional and global context - from hunger relief for
Hungarian children after World War I to abortion
legislation in communist Poland. It underlines the
similarities as well, demonstrating how biopolitical
strategies in this area often revolved around the notion
of an endangered nation; and how ideological schemes and
post-imperial experiences in Eastern Europe further
complicate a "western" understanding of democratic
participatory and authoritarian repressive biopolitics.
The new geographical focus invites scholars and students
of social and human sciences to reconsider established
perspectives on the history of population management and
the history of Europe"--|cProvided by publisher
