Widows: Life after Death

Numéro d'article 10219902

This publication, issued by Index on Censorship in 1998, focuses on the social and political conditions affecting widows in Central Asia after the collapse of the Soviet Union. It examines how war, political instability, and economic hardship shaped the lives of women who lost husbands, highlighting issues such as poverty, social exclusion, legal vulnerability, and cultural pressures. The volume combines reportage, essays, and analysis to document personal experiences alongside broader regional context, aiming to shed light on human rights concerns and the often-overlooked consequences of post-conflict societies.
