In\u003ci\u003e Family and the State in Soviet Lithuania\u003c\/i\u003e, Dalia Leinarte deftly challenges the commonplace 'kitchen culture' idea that the home was a site of silent resistance where traditional Lithuanian values continued to be nurtured. Instead, this fascinating book reveals how the totalitarian state gradually abolished the private lives of Lithuanian families altogether. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBased on over 100 interviews and an array of archival sources, this book analyses how family policy formed the everyday life of men and women and considers how the internalisation of Soviet ideology took place in the private sphere. From a well-developed after-school activity program for children to strict rules regarding the working hours of men and women, ultimately the family could not remain isolated from the regime. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eFamily and the State in Soviet Lithuania\u003c\/i\u003e is the first book to explore family policy in the Soviet Baltic states and is therefore a vital resource for scholars of Soviet and gender history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dalia Leinarte\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350254894\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350254893\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/23\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 226\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.48d","brand":"Dalia Leinarte","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44071405027583,"sku":"9781350254893","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fcc00613-ee57-41c2-a24f-9d07fdd8edf0.jpg?v=1685435901","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/family-and-the-state-in-dalia-leinarte-9781350254893","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
