Reviews

Empire and Belonging in the Eurasian Borderlands is an excellent collection of essays featuring original research on a wide range of topics. It's certain to appeal to specialists in the history of nationality and empire as well as readers in the Russian field. -- Willard Sunderland, University of Cincinnati, and author of the award-winning <I>The Baron's Cloak</I> Empire and Belonging in the Eurasian Borderlands is a fine volume and a worthy tribute to Ron Suny, one of the leading scholars of the Russian empire and Soviet Union of his generation, whose work was never imprisoned by the conventional boundaries of Sovietology. -- Alexander Morrison, New College, Oxford, and author of <I>Russian Rule in Samarkand, 1868-1910</I>

Empire and Belonging in the Eurasian Borderlands is an edited volume of thematically and regionally similar papers that resulted from a conference held at the University of Michigan in October 2016... Ronald Suny sums the book up concisely with a brilliant discussion of empire and nation that ties together the book's themes and demonstrates the insight and breadth of vision that he has gained over his re-markable career. Given the geopolitical events of today, the lessons learned from this body of research draw our attention to some of the more insidious things that oft en result for people living in the border-lands of great empires. -- Brett R. Chloupek, Northwest Missouri State University * Historical Geography * Overall, Empire and Belonging is a very strong collection and a fitting tribute to Suny, its essays steeped in broad historical and theoretical knowledge, and full of surprising and revelatory detail about those spaces, peoples and states in Eurasia's borderlands. * Eurasian Geography and Economics *
