He Is All American Now”: Italian–Americans in the Italian Campaign of World War II
2022
This chapter aims to analyze the case of the Italian–Americans' participation in World War II. It is an interesting case study to focus on issues connected to the processes of constructing multifaceted identities that characterize ethnicity.

Neuvostovallan päättyminen ja poikkikansallinen historiantutkimus
2012
Neuvostovallan päättyminen on ollut Euroopan ja koko maailmanhistorian kannalta keskeisimpiä lähihistorian tapahtumia. Prosessista ja siihen johtaneista tekijöistä on laajalti erilaisia näkemyksiä, mutta syvällistä tutkimusta ei ole kovin runsaasti. Neuvostohistorian tutkimuksessa on meneillään murroskausi, jonka haasteet liittyvät tarkastelukohteisiin, metodologiaan sekä yleisemmin tutkimuksessa käytettyihin lähteisiin. peerReviewed
