Harvard Historical Studies: Bankrupts and Usurers of Imperial Russia

 

"Bankrupts and Usurers of Imperial Russia explores the culture of money and credit in imperial Russia through the eyes of ordinary individuals. Moving beyond the stereotypes of wasteful nobles, backward merchants, and ruthless moneylenders, this study recreates the daily tangle of motivations, practices, and disputes that preceded and underpinned Russia's "great reforms" of the mid-nineteenth century.

Beschrijving Harvard Historical Studies: Bankrupts and Usurers of Imperial Russia

As readers of Russian literature know, the nineteenth century was a time of pervasive financial anxiety. Russians of all classes were enmeshed in networks of credit and debt, and borrowing and lending shaped perceptions of material and moral worth. Sergei Antonov recreates this imperial world of borrowers, bankrupts, lenders, and loan sharks.

Why the Nineties Matter

Why the Nineties Matter offers an incisive yet broad-ranging history of America in that decade. Terry Anderson focuses on key trends that either began or gained steam then and which have had lasting effects until this day: the spread of right-wing extremism, transformations in class voting preferences and party realignment, the expansion of neoliberal economic policy, the emergence of social media, and US foreign policy choices in the Middle East.

Bloody Tuesday

This compelling work recovers a neglected episode in the Black community's long struggle for full citizenship when police and Klansmen stormed First African Baptist Church and brutalized over 600 unarmed protestors preparing to march for freedom.
