Reading Primary Sources
The Interpretation of Texts from Nineteenth and Twentieth Century History
AvBenjamin Ziemann,Miriam Dobson
E-bok
Engelska, 2020

Läs direkt efter köp
Now in its second edition, Reading Primary Sources explores the varied traditions in source criticism and, through specific examples, illustrates how primary sources can be read and used in historical research.
Part I of this two-part volume begins by establishing the reader’s understanding of source criticism with an overview of both traditional and new methodological approaches to the use of primary documents. Taking into account the huge expansion in the range of primary sources used by historians, Part II includes chapters on surveillance reports, testimony and court files, in addition to more traditional genres such as letters, memoranda, diaries, novels, newspapers, political speeches and autobiography. For the new edition, each chapter now includes a checklist that suggests an easy-to-follow sequence of steps for interpreting a specific source genre, enabling students to understand how the sources should be read, what they have to offer, and the pitfalls of their interpretation. In addition to new discussions about the availability of digitised source materials, a new chapter on social surveys unlocks the potential of these widely used primary sources.
Taking examples of sources from many European countries and the United States, and providing up-to-date information on the most widely used textual sources, this book is the perfect companion for every student of history who wants to engage with primary sources.

Khrushchev's Cold Summer
Gulag Returnees, Crime, and the Fate of Reform After Stalin
AvMiriam Dobson
Inbunden, Engelska, 2009

Between Stalin's death in 1953 and 1960, the government of the Soviet Union released hundreds of thousands of prisoners from the Gulag as part of a wide-ranging effort to reverse the worst excesses and abuses of the previous two decades and revive the spirit of the revolution. This exodus included not only victims of past purges but also those sentenced for criminal offenses. In Khrushchev's Cold Summer Miriam Dobson explores the impact of these returnees on communities and, more broadly, Soviet attempts to come to terms with the traumatic legacies of Stalin's terror.Confusion and disorientation undermined the regime's efforts at recovery. In the wake of Stalin's death, ordinary citizens and political leaders alike struggled to make sense of the country's recent bloody past and to cope with the complex social dynamics caused by attempts to reintegrate the large influx of returning prisoners, a number of whom were hardened criminals alienated and embittered by their experiences within the brutal camp system.Drawing on private letters as well as official reports on the party and popular mood, Dobson probes social attitudes toward the changes occurring in the first post-Stalin decade. Throughout, she features personal stories as articulated in the words of ordinary citizens, prisoners, and former prisoners. At the same time, she explores Soviet society's contradictory responses to the returnees and shows that for many the immediate post-Stalin years were anything but a breath of spring air after the long Stalinist winter.

Unorthodox
Soviet Protestants in Cold War Ukraine and Russia

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
The Unorthodox offers a new history of Ukraine's and Russia's Protestant communities, from the religious resurgence of World War II through four decades of the Cold War. The subject of bureaucratic reports, sensationalist newspaper stories, and court transcripts, these communities generated disproportionate attention in the Soviet Union. Miriam Dobson examines why they provoked such interest for the communist regime and – challenging ideas about the communist state and its repression of religion – argues that the Soviet regime used religious traditions to claim its own modernity. The Soviet preoccupation with the Protestant minority was later reproduced in the western media.Subjected to scrutiny, those who belonged to Evangelical Christian-Baptist and Pentecostal congregations responded in varied ways. Some believed it possible to be both "Soviet and Protestant." Others concluded Christian life in the USSR was impossible. A minority developed alternative institutions, such as the all-female Council of Prisoners' Relatives, a highly effective producer and exporter of samizdat texts. Using oral history interviews and unpublished letters, The Unorthodox explores the sense of purpose and belonging that congregational life provided and also the possibilities for conflict and discord as members navigated what it meant to live in accordance with scripture in a modern, secular world. Dobson pays particular attention to gender dynamics within these predominantly female congregations.
