There are over thirty million disabled people in Russia and
Eastern Europe, yet their voices are rarely heard in scholarly
studies of life and well-being in the region. This book brings
together new research by internationally recognised local and
non-native scholars in a range of countries in Eastern Europe and
the former Soviet Union. It covers, historically, the origins of
legacies that continue to affect well-being and policy in the
region today. Discussions of disability in culture and society
highlight the broader conditions in which disabled people must
build their identities and well-being whilst in-depth biographical
profiles outline what living with disabilities in the region is
like. Chapters on policy interventions, including international
influences, examine recent reforms and the difficulties of
implementing inclusive, community-based care. The book will be of
interest both to regional specialists, for whom well-being,
equality and human rights are crucial concerns, and to scholars of
disability and social policy internationally.
