      "An interdisciplinary survey of disability in socialist states throughout global history. In Re/imaginations of Disability in State Socialism, an interdisciplinary group of scholars examines how disability has been conceptualized and treated in socialist states throughout global history. Drawing on intersectional theories that set disability in conversation with other identity categories such as race, age, gender, and sexuality, this book offers a unique approach to this crucial issue."--Publisher description

      While constructions of gender have always been informed by explicit and implicit connotations of generation, the study of generational aspects of gender and of the "gender of generation" remain relatively marginalised within academic discourse. Growing out of an international conference on "Gender and Generation," the present volume brings together writings that, speaking from diverse disciplinary contexts, explore and formulate the ways in which generation interlinks with gender.
