Have we entered a historical moment of "post-feminism?" This volume
presents a timely and convincing "no." These essays demonstrate
that there is a new generation of French women who take up
questions of equality and difference from a position distinct from
either first or second wave feminism, a position that often
attempts to move beyond the binary of equality and/or difference to
a new form of the individual.
Between the Psyche and the Social is the first collection of its
kind to offer original, interdisciplinary essays on questions of
social subjectivity. Contributors engage the disciplines of
feminism, psychoanalytic theory, queer theory, postcolonial theory,
film theory, literary criticism, and philosophy to transform the
psychoanalytic study of social oppression. The book considers such
questions as, How can psychoanalysis and critical social theory
engage and transform one another? How can the social dimensions of
subjectivity be understood within the framework of a classic
psychoanalytic theory that rejects the social domain that gives
rise to subjectivity in the first place? Between the Psyche and the
Social reclaims the contributions of psychoanalysis, feminism,
queer theory, postcolonial, and political theories in order to
change the parameters of the current debates on the social
dimensions of subjectivity.

A civilian internee of World War II, a fugitive in Rome from
1941-44, a partisan, and a member of Tito's Yugoslav army, the
author fought against the German occupation of Yugoslavia. After
the war, as a foreign editor of the Belgrade daily, Borba, he
covered the 1946 Paris Peace Conference, the 1948 Tito-Stalin rift,
and the 1953 Panmunjom talks to end the Korean war. In 1956, as a
UN and US correspondent, he resigned over Tito's refusal to support
the Hungarian Revolution, sought and was granted political asylum
in the US. During the period the author was a foreign editor of
Borba from 1946-53, he wrote several books in his native
Serbo-Croatian. His first title written in English was a 2009
memoir, The Last Exile. Requiem for a Country is about the
destruction of Sephardic life in Bosnia, as well as about the
dissolution of what used to be a harmonious coexistence of
multiethnic people of Yugoslavia. It is an easy reading selection
to bring to the beach or savor in front of a fireplace. It is at
the same time an informative book a history professor would assign
to stimulate research and discussion in a course on Eastern Europe,
racial laws in Italy, WWII, and the cold war.
