Recenzii
Dance in Chains provides a good start into the confrontation with the 'political prison' in the 20th century. Kenney's great achievement is to solve the issue of a specific case and the history of a single regime and to understand it as a superordinate phenomenon in the 20th century. The study invites to further thinking and critical questioning of a problem, which, as the author also shows, has not lost its relevance.
In his detailed and nuanced account, Kenney argues that the experience of imprisonment neither erases the identity of the prisoner nor dilutes the potent ideology that lands him or her in prison in the first place ... Ultimately, this is a story of how both liberal and totalitarian empires crumbled in the twentieth century in the face of determined opponents. By putting both kinds of political formations within the same analytical frame, Kenney has performed an invaluable service for our field ... A significant book that will spark conversations, stir up historiographical controversies, and hopefully make us re-think the way that we practice history in our field.
