Journal of Russian American Studies (JRAS) 8.1 Published!
We are pleased to announce the publication of the Journal of Russian American Studies (JRAS) 8.1 (May 2024).
This issue features two articles. The first is an article by Alison Rowley who traces the fascinating journey of American Emma Burnham Dresser who forged her own path as a “New Woman” of the early 20th century that took her to the Soviet Union in 1931. The second article by Kristina V. Minkova offers the post-war letters of American Diplomat John Paton Davies from Moscow. These never published before letters are accompanied by an expert introduction and annotation that brings this critical moment of Soviet-American relations into greater focus.
This issue also features four book reviews and a Field Notes section that has some interesting events in the field – including some highlighted sessions at the upcoming ASEEES conference in Boston in November. Please take note also of a call for proposals for a special issue of JRAS!
We hope you enjoy this issue. Please contact us if you would like to contribute to our journal in any way. We are always looking for good articles, manuscript reviewers, book reviewers, and books to review.
Sincerely,
Ben Whisenhunt and Lee Farrow
