Peasants, Power, and Place is the first English-language book to
focus on Ukrainian-speaking peasants during the revolutionary
period from 1914 to 1921. In contrast to the many studies written
from the perspectives of the Ukrainian national movement's leaders
or the Bolsheviks or urban workers, this book portrays this period
of war, revolution, and civil war from the viewpoints of the
villagers-the overwhelming majority of the population of what
became Ukraine. Utilizing previously unavailable archival
documents, Mark R. Baker opens a unique and neglected window into
the tumultuous events of those years in Ukraine and across the
crumbling Russian Empire. One of Baker's key arguments is that the
peasants of Kharkiv province thought of themselves primarily as
members of their particular village communities, and not as members
of any nation or class-ideas to which peasants were only then being
introduced. Thus this study helps to move the historiography beyond
the narrow and ideologized categories created during the Cold War
and still employed today. Readers will gain a broader understanding
of the ways in which the majority of the population experienced
these crucial years in Ukraine's history.
