Product Description
Review
‘James Forsyth’s work … is very timely. Just when the world is becoming aware of Siberia’s 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 Russia’s centre of gravity shifts east, will become very important.’ Norman Stone, Aberdeen University Review
‘Forsyth’s 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 Forsyth’s 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.
