Kevin Siena, Rotten Bodies: Class and Contagion in Eighteenth-Century Britain
In Rotten Bodies: Class and Contagion in Eighteenth-Century Britain, Kevin Siena seeks to close a historiographical gap in the history of epidemic disease from the late seventeenth century to the early nineteenth century. Critiquing eighteenth-century medical history for only narrowly examining the poor through the lens of charity, in Rotten Bodies Siena uses eighteenth-century discourse surrounding the “plebian body” to trace a larger historical…
Stalin: A New History
The figure of Joseph Stalin has always provoked heated and often polarized debate. The recent declassification of a substantial portion of Stalin's archive has made possible this fundamental new assessment of the Soviet leader. In this groundbreaking 2005 study, leading international experts challenge many assumptions about Stalin from his early life in Georgia to the Cold War years with contributions ranging across the political, economic, socia…

By the summer of 1931 another six hundred thousand had been added. In this brief period, which coincided with the wholesale collectivization and dekulakization campaigns, labor camps began to play an important role in Soviet industrialization. There is a vast literature devoted to the…
