The demise of apartheid was one of the great achievements of postwar history, sought after and celebrated by a progressive global community. Looking at these events from the other side, An African Volk explores how the apartheid state strove to maintain power as the world of white empire gave way to a post-colonial environment that repudiated racial hierarchy. Drawing upon archival research across Southern Africa and beyond, as well as interviews with leaders of the apartheid order, Jamie Miller shows how the white power structure attempted to turn the new political climate to its advantage. Instead of simply resisting decolonization and African nationalism in the name of white supremacy, the regime looked to co-opt and invert the norms of the new global era to promote a fresh ideological basis for its rule. It adapted discourses of nativist identity, African anti-colonialism, economic development, anti-communism, and state sovereignty to rearticulate what it meant to be African. An African Volk details both the global and local repercussions. At the dawn of the 1970s, the apartheid state reached out eagerly to independent Africa in an effort to reject the mantle of colonialism and redefine the white polity as a full part of the post-colonial world. This outreach both reflected and fuelled heated debates within white society, exposing a deeply divided polity in the midst of profound economic, cultural, and social change. Situated at the nexus of African, decolonization, and Cold War history, An African Volk takes readers into the corridors of white power to detail the apartheid regime's campaign to break out of isolation and secure global acceptance. - Inbunden, Engelska, 2016

When the Bolsheviks seized power in the Soviet Union during 1917, they were suffering from a substantial political legitimacy deficit. Uneasy political foundations meant that cinema became a key part of the strategy to protect the existence of the USSR. Based on extensive archival research, this welcome book examines the interaction between politics and the Soviet cinema industry during the period between Stalin's rise to power and the beginning of the Great Patriotic War. It reveals that film had a central function during those years as an important means of convincing the masses that the regime was legitimate and a bearer of historical truth. Miller analyses key films, from the classic musical 'Circus' to the political epic "The Great Citizen", and examines the Bolsheviks', ultimately failed, attempts to develop a 'cinema for the millions'. As Denise Youngblood writes, 'this work is indispensable reading not only for specialists in Soviet film and culture, but also for anyone interested in the dynamics of cultural production in an authoritarian society'. - Inbunden, Engelska, 2024

The Mezhrabpom (International Workers’ Relief) studio was responsible for Soviet avant-garde classics such as Pudovkin’s The End of Saint Petersburg (1927) and Storm Over Asia (1928) and existed from 1924 until its closure in 1936. Employing an unusual – for the time – combination of Russian filmmakers and foreign communists, it produced some of the most popular films in the USSR in the first half of the twentieth century. Jamie Miller details the history of this organisation, often at the forefront of technological innovations, and how it both provided a source of creative talent for the state and established a crucial relationship with Germany and the West to fulfil Soviet propaganda ambitions. He reveals the multi-faceted reasons that the studio managed to preserve its autonomy and status, despite relentless attacks over suspicions that it put profit above ideology: unearthing the systems of power distribution, personal connections and patronage that kept it afloat. Unique in its visionary genre and style experiments, Mezhrabpom also stood out as an early pioneer in the fight against fascism, when the USSR and wider communist movement failed to act. Miller therefore provides a rich account of the production stories and the industrial and political context behind a major cultural institution in the Soviet story, one fundamental to our understanding of world cinema history.The studio intended to make popular literary adaptations, based on the actor-centred influences of the Moscow Art Theatre and Russia's pre-Revolutionary cinema. These movies and its productions of avant-garde classics were among some of the most popular films in the USSR in the first half of the twentieth century. Jamie Miller details the history of this organisation, arguing that personal connections and patronage among the Bolshevik political and cultural elite were vital in the creation and sustenance of the studio. They gave the organisation the opportunity to make box office hits and create outstanding films in a distinctive Mezhrabpom visual style.
