Revolution
Revolution: Russian Art, 1917-1932' encapsulates a momentous period in Russian history that is vividly expressed in the diversity of art produced between 1917, the year of the October Revolution, and 1932 when Stalin began to suppress the avant-garde and its debates. Based around the great exhibition of 1932 held at the State Russian Museum in Leningrad, the book explores the fascinating themes and artistic developments of the first fifteen years of the Soviet state, including painting, sculpture, ceramics, posters, graphics and film. The exhibition itself was to be the swansong of avant-garde art in Russia: new policies quickly ensured that Socialist Realism - collective in production, public in manifestation and Communist in ideology - was to become the only acceptable art form. This volume is a timely and authoritative exploration of how modern art in all its forms flourished, was recognised, celebrated, and broken by implacable authority all within fifteen years.

Beyond Control: Russian Performance from Futurism to the Present
A revolution in culture took place in the decade preceding the Russian Revolution. Artists, writers and theater directors experimented with new forms to include practices which might today be termed "performance." With the official adoption of Socialist Realism in 1934, virtually all improvisatory artistic practices were abandoned in favor of highly choreographed forms such as ballet and parades. The death of Stalin in 1953 and the subsequent Khrushchev "thaw" encouraged the postwar generation to begin experimenting again and, over the next 60 years, performance would develop from a marginal practice to a powerful means of social expression. Beyond Control looks at performance in Russia from the avant-garde to today. It is the fourth book in a series on the history of Russian contemporary art.
Drugs, Identity and Stigma
This book calls attention to the impact of stigma experienced by people who use illicit drugs. Stigma is powerful: it can do untold harm to a person and place with longstanding effects. Through an exploration of themes of inequality, power, and feeling ‘out of place’ in neoliberal times, this collection focuses on how stigma is negotiated, resisted and absorbed by people who use drugs. How does stigma get under the skin? Drawing on a range of theoretical frameworks and empirical data, this book draws attention to the damaging effects stigma can have on identity, recovery, mental health, desistance from crime, and social inclusion. By connecting drug use, stigma and identity, the authors in this collection share insights into the everyday experiences of people who use drugs and add to debate focused on an agenda for social justice in drug use policy and practice.
