商品簡介
Post-Soviet availability of communist-era archives of the Romanian secret police has provided the opportunity for a number of new insights into Soviet-era Romanian society, but there remain questions of how best to approach the archives and the extent to which one can trust the archives to provide a reasonable amount of truth. This volume, originally delivered as part of a lecture series in honor of American historian Natalie Davis, approaches the archives through the lens of ethnography and further addresses questions of its truth-value. A significant focus of the discussion is the ethnography of the author?s own file compiled by the Romanian secret police. Distributed in the US by Books International.
