Constructing Ethnopolitics in the Soviet Union Samizdat, Deprivation and the Rise of Ethnic Nationalism

"A first rate piece of scholarship that provides useful background to recent developments in ethnonationalism in the former Soviet Union." - John Ishiyama, Truman State University

"This book makes a substantial contribution to the study of the Soviet nationality issues, helping fill a gap by showing how the ethno-nationalist dissident movements of the Soviet era helped formulate the programs of ethnopolitics adopted in many of the new states that seceded from the Soviet Union." - Anatoly M. Khazanov, Ernest Gellner Professor of Anthropology, University of Wisconsin-Madison
