This text examines the emergence of nationalist, racist and
anti-feminist ideologies in post-socialist Eastern Europe. In a
political context that includes ethnic wars, post-socialist
totalitarianism, capitalist moral majority ideologies, and a
virulent new patriarchy, this study asks what has become of the
notions of democracy and human rights since the collapse of
socialism. It also challenges the "political correctness" movement
and western theoretical responses to the events which have occurred
in former Communist countries. "The Spoils of Freedom" views major
social and political change through contemporary theory. Using
psychoanalytic, post-structuralist and feminist theories, Salecl
argues that the success of the new nationalist and anti-liberal
ideologies can be understood through the concept of fantasy, and
the willingness of individuals to identify with the hidden
fantasies embedded in political discourse. In doing so, she offers
a new approach to human rights, feminism and other liberal theories
grounded in her own active participation in the struggles against
communism, nationalism and anti-feminism.
