Cheskin's book is a valuable contribution to the burgeoning literature on discursive approaches to identity formation. The author convincingly shows how Russians in Latvia have managed to carve out an identity space between nationalizing Latvian discourses, and Moscow's 'compatriot' discourse. This space has gradually opened up since Latvian independence, making room for a variety of hybrid Russian-Latvian identities. -- Pal Kolsto, University of Oslo
