'Superb and meticulous scholarship makes this ... a particularly exciting set of essays ... innovative and fascinating. Unreservedly recommended.' - The Lecturer 'In terms both of the selection of the contributions and the provision of contextualizing information, this volume is a model of its kind, which should prove immensely valuable not only for students but also for practitioners in the field of Soviet history.'
Maureen Perrie,
”Stalinism is a controversial new addition to the current debates related to the history of the Stalinist period of the Soviet Union. Sheila Fitzpatrick has collected together not only the classics of the revisionist period but also new work by young Russian, American and European scholars, in an attempt to reassess this contentious and deeply politicized subject.The articles are contextualized by a thorough introduction to the totalitarian/revisionist arguments. Avoiding an exclusively political focus, the book draws together work on class, identity, gender, work and agency.
