Russia's Orient - Imperial Borderlands and Peoples, 1700-1917 (Broché)

Using new tools and methods, Russia's Orient broadens imperial history to include the study of the ethnic, social, and cultural dimensions of the Russian encounter with peoples whose cultures differed profoundly from their own. Fourteen essays develop topics dealing with imperial policies, conceptions of colonial rule, issues of perception, and the complex interactions between Russian colonizers and colonized peoples in territories extending from Kazan and Crimea through Turkestan to the Pacific Coast from the 18th to the early 20th centuries.
