Abstrakt
This chapter explores the ways in which a dialogue between postsocialist and postcolonial theories can be enriched and expanded through intersectional crip theory, offering a theorization of crip and racialised chronicity. The article also probes the limits of postsocialist scholarship in relation to race and the failures of transnational feminism to substantively engage with postsocialist experiences.
Building off of her forthcoming book, Rehabilitative Postsocialism, Kateřina Kolářová explores the rehabilitative logic that defined the social imaginary in the postsocialist Czech Republic and explains how national efforts of "rehabilitation" utilise racialized and disabled people and communities for its own legitimisation.
