In the decades following the collapse of state socialism at the end
of 1980s, disabled people in Central and Eastern Europe endured
economic marginalisation, cultural devaluation and political
disempowerment. Some of the mechanisms producing these injustices
were inherited from state socialism, while others emerged with
postsocialist neoliberalisation. State socialism promised social
security guaranteed by the public, and postsocialist
neoliberalisation promised independent living underpinned by the
market. This book argues that both promises failed as far as
disabled people were concerned, drawing on a wide range of
scholarly reports and analyses, policy documents, legislation, and
historical accounts, as well as on disability studies and social
justice theory. Besides differences, the book also illuminates
continuities between state socialism and postsocialist capitalism,
providing on this basis a more general and historically grounded
critique of contemporary neoliberalisation and its impact on
individual and collective life. The book will appeal to anyone
interested in disability studies and postsocialism, as well as
social policy, social movements and critical theory. It will also
be of interest to professionals involved in disability-related
service provision, as well as to disability activists and policy
makers.
