"For those interested in the future of this kind of studies, the volume edited by Roland Czvetkovski and Alexis Hoffmeister is an essential read. Comprising thirteen essays thematically split into three categories (“Paradigms”, “Representations” and
“Peoples”), the present volume approaches themes such as the role played by anthropologists and ethnographers in imperial policy, the manner in which minorities where affected by their efforts, or the state of these disciplines in the Soviet Union.... The volume as a whole is an important contribution to everyone interested in the history and practice of Tsarist and Soviet ethnography and anthropology."
