What lessons can we learn from its network of labor camps and prisons and exile settlements, which stretched across vast geographic expanses, included varied institutions, and brought together inmates from all the Soviet Union's ethnicities, professions, and social classes? Drawing on a massive body of documentary evidence, Rethinking the Gulag: Identities, Sources, Legacies explores the Soviet penal system from various disciplinary perspectives. Divided into three sections, the collection first considers "identities"-the lived experiences of contingents of detainees who have rarely figured in Gulag histories to date, such as common criminals and clerics. The second section, "sources," explores the ways new research methods can revolutionize our understanding of the system. The third section, "legacies," reveals the aftermath of the Gulag, including the folk beliefs and traditions it has inspired and the museums built to memorialize it. While all the chapters respond to one another, each section also concludes with a reaction by a leading researcher: geographer Judith Pallot, historian Lynne Viola, and literary scholar Alexander Etkind. Moving away from grand metaphorical or theoretical models, Rethinking the Gulag instead unearths the complexities and nuances of experience that represent a primary focus in the new wave of Gulag studies"-- 650 0 Labor camps |zSoviet Union |xHistory. 650 0 Forced labor |zSoviet Union |xHistory. 650 0 Prisons |zSoviet Union |xHistory. 650 0 Prisoners |zSoviet Union |xHistory. 700 1 Barenberg, Alan, |eeditor. 700 1 Johnson, Emily D., |d1966- |eeditor. 880 |6245 942 |2ddc |cBK 952 |00 |10 |2ddc |40 |6940_540000000000000_050947_BAR |70 |8REF |9156298OSA |bOSA |d2022-03-23 |eRFE/RL |l0 |o940.54/050947 BAR |r2022-03-23 |w2022-03-23 |yBK |cReference 920 01 Pe8lyJeW 992 01 940_540000000000000_050947_BAR |bQVZ_UVZZZZZZZZZZZZZ_ZUZQVS_OP8 966 |cIn the Research Room
