Research in Progress
The World the Refugees Made: Los Niños de la Guerra in the USSR and Beyond
The Communist Subject Around the World (under contract with Oxford University Press)
Designed for students, instructors, and general readers, this is the first
collection of documents, based in large part on newly available sources, on
how ordinary people in Communist polities around the world experienced,
resisted, and sometimes reshaped the Communist project. At the same time,
the selection of documents, and the narrative surrounding them, are designed
to provide readers with a strong, clear, and concise interpretation of the
significance of ordinary people for Communism as a global phenomenon.
Writing the Soviet Project: Concepts, Paradigms, and the Soviet
Experience. A manuscript, partially completed, that examines the recent
engagement of historians of the Soviet period with the mainstream culture of
academic writing, including postmodernism and post-colonial studies, and the
import of same for those who are not historians of the Soviet period.
Book-length project on Violence and Political Culture in Soviet Russia,
1917-1991.
Future Research Projects
Comparative project on the French and Russian Revolutions; biography of
