Reviews
Grounded in a rich set of ethnographic evidence, the author skillfully combines ethnographic, digital ethnographic, sociolinguistic, and archival data on Buryat-Russian language and on the production and consumption of local media such as print, radio, TV, and digital media. Considering the amount of information and evidence on which this study is based, Graber offers an impressive account of detailed analysis of ethnographic and archival data, cleverly tied up to the central concerns of the book, minority publics, and notions of belonging. * JOURNAL OF LINGUISTIC ANTHROPOLOGY * This book is essential for linguistic anthropologists and anyone studying the languages, cultures, and histories of Russia, Siberia, and Central Asia. It is also a valuable read for anyone interested in the discourses, ideologies, and practices we find connected to minoritized and indigenous language maintenance and revitalization anywhere in the world. Graber's writing is engaging and precise, whether she is discussing the nuances of linguistic anthropological theory or presenting an ethnographic vignette; she is a skilled storteller and reading the book was a pleasure. * Sibrica *
