Czech Political Prisoners: Recovering Face

Czech Political Prisoners is about the legacy of political violence under socialism in Central Eastern Europe. In light of reconciliation, in the postsocialist Czech Republic, former political prisoners’ various memories reveal how the notions of time, space, and law were altered under the long-term terror of a totalitarian regime. Claiming their lost social face, political prisoners reveal their redefined subjectivites and new forms of social relations – kinship and citizenship.
