Synopsis
This book examines the emergence of nationalist, racist and antifeminist 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 provocative study asks what has become of the notions of democracy and human rights since the collapse of socialism and challenges the 'political correctness' movement and Western theoretical responses to the events which have occurred in former communist countries.
