Crossing Borders (eBook, ePUB)

Modernity, Ideology, and Culture in Russia and the Soviet Union

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Winner, 2016 Historia Nova Book Prize for best book on Russian Intellectual and Cultural History Crossing Borders deconstructs contemporary theories of Soviet history from the revolution through the Stalin period, and offers new interpretations based on a transnational perspective. To Michael David-Fox, Soviet history was shaped by interactions across its borders. By reexamining conceptions of modernity, ideology, and cultural transformation, he challenges the polarizing camps of Soviet exceptionalism and shared modernity and instead strives for a theoretical and empirical middle ground as the basis for a creative and richly textured analysis.
