Empire of Others - Creating Ethnographic Knowledge in Imperial Russia and the USSR (Relié)

"The central contribution of this book is its detailed focus on the specific contexts that shaped the creation of ethnographic knowledge in modern Russia. When read together, the essays offer a revealing archeology of the discipline, showing readers how tsarist and Soviet ethnographers simultaneously defined both their subjects and their own expertise over a roughly three-hundred year period." Willard Sunderland, University of Cincinnati.
