"This edited collection, which reads like a multi-authored monograph, crowns the efforts of 13 contributors; the contributors are cultural and social historians, philosophers, and literary scholars, Reassessing Communism is a welcome contribution to the field of communism studies and an important voice against contemporary tendencies in Poland that try to reduce the four decades of People’s Poland to ideology-driven cliches, one-sided narratives, and non-reflective and anti-intellectual historicism."https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00085006.2022.2101733
