Civil Society Revisited
Lessons from Poland
«
“The book Civil Society Revisited is relevant not only for Polish readers, but for all scholars of civil society and social movements in the region. This is a collection of interesting texts with a strong methodological thesis and equally strong message …. The authors of the chapters challenge a common view that civil society in Poland and other post-socialist countries is underdeveloped: they question the biased image of passive societies, lacking in social capital and ‘intermediary bodies’, in which citizens are poorly educated, unaware of their own rights, deprived of the culture of participation and the necessary resources needed for social activity.” • Przegląd Socjologiczny
“Empirically grounded, methodologically plural, gender aware, theoretically rich, and sufficiently provocative, the editors of this volume have assembled interpretations of Polish civil society that ought not only draw in those dedicated to Polish scholarship. This volume needs to be engaged by everyone who wants to appreciate how social science matters in figuring social change.” • Slavic Review
