AWSS publication of Beyond Little Vera in vol. 7 of the Ohio Slavic Papers

[Lance Erickson]

The Association for Women in Slavic Studies and The Ohio State University
are pleased to announce the publication of Beyond Little Vera: Women's
Bodies, Women's Welfare in Russia and Central/Eastern Europe, Ohio Slavic
Papers, vol. 7, ed. Angela Brintlinger and Natasha Kolchevska, Columbus,
Ohio, September 2008. ISBN 978-0-89357-981-4. Paperback. $25.

 

This peer-reviewed volume comprises ten papers from the 2005 and 2007 AWSS
interdisciplinary conferences. As Natasha Kolchevska states in her
introduction, "Women in Transit(ion)," through the publication of this
volume the editors hope "to highlight the changing landscape for women of
various generations in post-Soviet space as reflected in a cross section of
current cultural, anthropological, and sociological studies . and to offer a
balance to the often sensationalized media coverage of gender (especially
when it comes to trafficking and commodification of women) by presenting the
issues in a more scholarly light."

 

The volume is distributed by Slavica and is available via mail as well as at
the AAASS conference in Philadelphia (November 2008) and the AWSS conference
in Columbus (April 2009). For information regarding the purchase of this and
other Ohio Slavic Papers titles, please contact: Slavica Publishers, 2611 E.
10th St., Bloomington, IN 47408-2603.
