Review
James Forsyths work is very timely. Just when the world is becoming aware of Siberias peoples, we are presented with a compendium of information relating to them. The scope is vast. The Historical Association Journal
(an) extremely useful, introduction to a subject that, as Russias centre of gravity shifts east, will become very important. Norman Stone, Aberdeen University Review
Forsyths book is imperative for anyone interested in Russian or world history, and would appeal to specialists and non-specialists alike. Canadian-American Slavic Studies
In this ambitious synthetic effort Forsyth has drawn together an impressive array of material hitherto unavailable in English While Forsyths narrative and interpretation are unparalleled in English, the illustrations, detailed table of contents, and comprehensive index and bibliography alone make the work an essential reference for Siberian history. Nationalities Papers
this book is a considerable achievement and is essential reading for everyone interested in Siberia. Scottish Slavonic Review
this is a highly commendable work. Slavonic Review
Product Description
This is the first ethnohistory of Siberia to appear in English, tracing the history of the native peoples from the Russian conquest onwards. James Forsyth compares the Siberian experience with that of the Indians and Eskimos in North America and the book as a whole will provide readers with a vast corpus of ethnographic information previously inaccessible to Western scholars.
