Review Quotes:
"This anthology brings together a wide-ranging collection of primary sources from multiple languages that allow us to think about the history of post-Soviet space in a new way. Its emphasis on the diversity of historical actors and their entangled histories is refreshing and a major contribution to ongoing debates about Russian history. A remarkable achievement." --Adeeb Khalid, Jane and Raphael Bernstein Professor of Asian Studies and History, Carleton College, USA
"New Histories of Northern Eurasia, 700-1918 is a much-needed reader that decisively challenges entrenched Russocentric and anachronistically nationalised narratives of the region's past. By bringing together a rich range of previously neglected sources and voices from across Northern Eurasia, the volume offers a genuinely new vision of the region's history and will become an indispensable resource for teaching and research. An outstanding companion to Bloomsbury's A New History of Northern Eurasia, 600-1918." --Vera Tolz, Sir William Mather Professor of Russian Studies, the University of Manchester, UK.
