Reviews
'... the book is an excellent introduction both to the most successful of the great reforms and to how ordinary people, and in particular ethnic and religious minorities, resorted to the new courts in the first decades of their functioning.' Jonathan Daly, The Slavonic and East European Review
'... the book is an excellent introduction both to the most successful of the great reforms and to how ordinary people, and in particular ethnic and religious minorities, resorted to the new courts in the first decades of their functioning.' Jonathan Daly, The Slavonic and East European Review '... Kirmse's careful reading of the secondary and comparative literature on law in imperial contexts and his close examination of specific cases in these two fascinating areas make his book essential reading for historians of law and Muslim communities in the Russian Empire.' Charles Steinwedel, Central Asian Survey 'This is a book filled with wonderful insights on popular legal practice and the concept of culture diversity in the Russian Empire.' Katil Fred Hansen, English Historical Review 'The book contains everything needed to acquaint the reader with its content, including maps, detailed lists of primary sources and secondary literature, and a remarkably well-crafted and useful index. Moreover, it provides new insight amidst the ever-growing literature on the regional history of both Crimea and Kazan Province, and on their Muslim communities in particular.' Michel Tissier, H-Soz-Kult-Zentralredaktion
