Russia's Orient -  Daniel R. Brower, Edward J. Lazzerini, Edward J.. Lazzerini

Imperial Borderlands and Peoples, 1750-1917 (Indiana-Michigan Series in Russian & East European Studies)

KORTE INHOUD

From a 1994 conference (U. of California, Berkeley), Borderlands Research Group participants present their findings based on unprecedented access to the hinterlands of what is the now the CIS. Fourteen contributors provide context for the current self- deterministic ethnic turmoil in Chechyna and elsewhere far from the Kremlin, via discussions of tsarist colonial policies and historical, heartland majority attitudes toward the "ignoble savages and unfaithful subjects" (read Muslim) of Russia's diverse Orient.
