The participation of women in the Yugoslav National Liberation Movement is one of the most significant events in modern history. In no other country in the world have women played such a decisive role in the achievement of victory over an occupying enemy and the creation of a Communist state. Women and Revolution In Yugoslavia is the first book in English on women's role in the Yugoslav partisan movement of World War II. It is based on research in primary sources in Yugoslavia and on the author's interviews with Yugoslav women who fought in the war. The book examines the various functions that women performed in the fight against fascism and German occupation--as soldiers, as members of the Yugoslav Communist Party, and as part of the effort to provide support to those on the front lines. It also traces the evolution of the woman's movement and analyzes women's postwar status. Many women partisans view their participation in the war as the decisive factor in the liberation of all Yugoslav women, as having opened the door to their equal participation with men in the building of the new Yugoslavia. But at the end of the 1970s, a new generation of Yugoslav women began to challenge these assumptions of emancipation, calling for radical changes in existing social values and institutions and an end to the patriarchal order. Jancar-Webster reconciles these radically different positions into a realistic picture of the gains made by women through their participation in the war.

Environmental Action in Eastern Europe

The environmental crisis in Eastern Europe - air and water pollution, toxic waste dumps, and unsafe nuclear facilities - has been vividly documented since the revolution of 1989. Not only did the communist states have an abysmal record of environmental destruction, but the issue of environmental protection and safety proved to be one of the msot powerful catalysts of unified opposition to these regimes. This collection of essays by both Western and East European experts examines the efforts to develop strategies for dealing with the crisis, both by governments and at the grassroots level of newly emerging Green movements. Among the countries represented here are Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Lithuania, Slovenia and the Commonwealth of Independent States.
