Robert Cliver
History
History Professor Robert Cliver contributed a chapter on "Socialist Industrialization" for The Routledge History of Communism, edited by Melissa Feinberg and Lisa A. Kirschenbaum. The book "examines how politics played out inside the factory, the village, the family, or the school. It highlights the different ways Communism shaped the lives of ordinary people all over the world and the ways in which ordinary people shaped Communist movements and states. The authors’ focus on everyday communism allows them to highlight the centrality of race, gender, sexuality, and other identities to understandings of Communism’s appeal, its successes, and its failures."
