- This book offers the first interdisciplinary examination of the cultural relations of the American and Soviet avant-gardes in the interwar period, including architecture, theatre, film, photography, and literature. This major study explores the complex interconnections of cultural practice and radical politics against the shifting parallel contexts of Depression-era American and the Soviet Five Year Plan. The project required expertise in the historiographical and intellectual discourses of the respective disciplines and in Critical Theory. It involved several trips to the United States of America, visiting archives for rare primary textual sources and consulting museum collections to study original cultural works directly.
