Salecl, Renata (1994) The spoils of freedom: psychoanalysis, feminism and ideology after the fall of socialism. Abingdon, UK: Routledge. ISBN 9780415073585.
Abstract
Book synopsis: The rise of nationalist, racist and anti-feminist ideologies is one of the most frightening repercussions of the collapse of socialism. Using psychoanalytic theories of fantasy to investigate why such extremist ideologies have taken hold, Renata Salecl argues that the major social and political changes in post-communist Eastern Europe require a radical re-evaluation of notions of liberal theories of democracy. In doing so she offers a new approach to human rights and feminism grounded in her own active partipation in the struggles, first against communism and now against nationalism and anti-feminism.
