Summary

Stalinismis 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.
