ABSTRACT
This conversation explores the ways in which a dialogue between postsocialist and postcolonial theories can be enriched and expanded through intersectional crip theory, and in particular through thinking crip and racialised chronicity. The conversation also probes the limits or postsocialist scholarship in relation to race and the failures of transnational feminism vis-à-vis postsocialist experiences. Building off of her forthcoming book Rehabilitative Postsocialism, Kateřina Kolářová lays out the concept of “rehabilitative citizenship” that defines the social imaginary in the postsocialist Czech Republic and explains how national efforts of “rehabilitation” utilise disabled people as well as Roma and racialised communities for its own legitimisation.
