Description:
Kaleidoscopic Odessa provides a detailed account of how local conceptions of imperial cosmopolitanism shaped the city's identity in a newly formed state.
Brief description: Tanya Richardson is an assistant professor in the Department of Anthropology at Wilfrid Laurier University.
Review Quotes: 'Richardson finds a way to literally guide the reader through Odessa's cobbled and storied history in a manner that is ethnographically rich and theoretically invigorating.'
