Gendering Postsocialism explores changes in gendered norms and
expectations in Eastern Europe and Eurasia after the fall of the
Berlin Wall. The dismantlement of state socialism in these regions
triggered monumental shifts in their economic landscape, the
involvement of their welfare states in social citizenship and,
crucially, their established gender norms and relations, all
contributing to the formation of the postsocialist citizen. Case
studies examine a wide range of issues across 15 countries of the
post-Soviet era. These include gender aspects of the developments
in education in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Hungary, controversies
around abortion legislation in Poland, migrant women and housing as
a gendered problem in Russia, challenges facing women's NGOs in
Bosnia, and identity formation of unemployed men in Lithuania. This
close analysis reveals how different variations of neoliberal
ideology, centred around the notion of the self-reliant and
self-determining individual, have strongly influenced postsocialist
gender identities, whilst simultaneously showing significant trends
for a "retraditionalising" of gender norms and expectations. This
volume suggests that despite integration with global political and
free market systems, the postsocialist gendered subject combines
strategies from the past with those from contemporary ideologies to
navigate new multifaceted injustices around gender in Eastern
Europe and Eurasia.
