Description
Disability and Postsocialism by Teodor Mladenov explores the experiences of disabled people in Central and Eastern Europe after the collapse of state socialism. This book examines how economic marginalisation, cultural devaluation, and political disempowerment affected disabled individuals, tracing continuities between state socialism and postsocialist capitalism. Mladenov draws on a range of scholarly reports, analyses, policy documents, legislation, and historical accounts to provide a critical analysis of neoliberalisation's impact on individual and collective life. The book offers a nuanced understanding of the failures of both state socialist promises of social security and postsocialist neoliberalisation's promise of independent living. This book will appeal to those interested in disability studies, social policy, social movements, and critical theory, as well as professionals involved in disability-related service provision and disability activists and policymakers.
