metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: This roundtable reviews Jeffrey Hass’ Wartime Suffering and Survival, an in-depth historical ethnography
  of the Blockade of Leningrad. Reviewers address various empirical, thematic, and theoretical facets of the
  book and raise questions regarding each of these topics. Important issues include the nature of explanation in
  the humanities (especially history) and the social sciences (in this case, sociology); the role and form of power in
  such circumstances; and the nature of the Blockade itself as historical event. Reviews from the Southern Conference
  on Slavic Studies, the Association of Slavic, East European and Eurasian Societies, and European University
  at St. Petersburg provide further insight into the book and reflections on the Blockade. It is an important contribution
  to the understanding of human resilience in the face of great suffering, and its implications for history, politics,
  and society. It explores questions such as what happened to political identities, institutions, authority, and cultural
  tropes when survival was at stake, and if there is a homo sovieticus that responds to trauma and survival differently
  than a person elsewhere in human history. This roundtable seeks to provoke further rethinking of the Blockade,
  of the Soviet experience of war, of the nature of survival and human resilience, and of the nature of explanation.
