Stalin's Outcasts
Author: Golfo Alexopoulos
Publisher: Cornell University Press
ISBN: 1501720503
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
"I served not in defense of the bourgeois order, but only for a crumb of bread since I was burdened with five small children.""From 1923 to 1925 I worked as a musician but later my earnings weren't steady and I quickly stopped. Without an income to live on, I was drawn to the nonlaboring path.""As a man almost completely illiterate and therefore not prepared for any kind of work, I was forced to return to my craft as a barber.""I am as ignorant as a pipe."Golfo Alexopoulos focuses on the lishentsy ("outcasts") of the interwar USSR to reveal the defining features of alien and citizen identities under Stalin's rule. Although portrayed as "bourgeois elements," lishentsy actually included a wide variety of people, including prostitutes, gamblers, tax evaders, embezzlers, and ethnic minorities, in particular, Jews. The poor, the weak, and the elderly were frequent targets of disenfranchisement, singled out by officials looking to conserve scarce resources or satisfy their superiors with long lists of discovered enemies.Alexopoulos draws heavily on an untapped resource: an archive in western Siberia that contains over 100,000 individual petitions for reinstatement. Her analysis of these and many other documents concerning "class aliens" shows how Bolshevik leaders defined the body politic and how individuals experienced the Soviet state. Personal narratives with which individuals successfully appealed to officials for reinstatement allow an unusual view into the lives of "outcasts." From Kremlin leaders to marked aliens, many participated in identifying insiders and outsiders and challenging the terms of membership in Stalin's new society.

Anything But: The Musings of an Outcast, Me, Razberry Sweet
Author: Megan Linski
Publisher: Gryfyn Publishing
ISBN:
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
Seventeen-year-old Raz uses his gift for acting to hide the truth of who he really is. After being a target for the bullies at his high school, he’s sworn that this year, he’s going to reinvent himself. Instead of the shy theater geek he’s always been, he’s decided to portray a new identity so he can belong. Getting noticed in a small town is difficult, especially when you’ve got Raz’s reputation— because last summer gave him a black record and a secret. Video camera in hand, Raz decides to make a movie that’ll put him in the spotlight, working together with the biggest misfits, outcasts, and rebels the school can put together. As Raz's misadventures continue, he finds fitting in and finding himself is scarier than navigating his first kiss. But keeping up an act is harder than it looks, and Raz is about to learn that accepting who you truly are is better than putting on a mask. A coming-of-age high school contemporary novella, Anything But is a young adult story about self-love that’s funny, touching, and full of friendship. The first book in the Razberry Sweet series.
