"The authors go beyond the traditional examination of the great
powers to explore these points with respect to local or regional
issues. . . . This volume will be important to the fields of
diplomatic and world history as well as Russian and Ottoman
history. Recommended."--Choice
"This very rich volume of essays has succeeded admirably in
bringing to our attention the exciting new trends and directions in
Eastern Question scholarship, which promise to keep the field
vibrant and dynamic."--The Russian Review
"Unexpectedly timely. The essays in this collection admirably
indicate new directions for a necessarily transnational approach to
a region whose history is still constantly being written and
rewritten by various stakeholders."--Ab Imperio: Studies of New
Imperial History and Nationalism in the Post-Soviet Space
"[An] important new volume, which needs to be added to many a
library collection. . . . Stimulating."--Slavic Review
"A breakthrough to a new way of conceiving the Eastern Question.
This collection relocates the field of vision from Constantinople
and the Straits to the borderlands between the Russian and Ottoman
Empires, territories stretching from the Balkans to Transcaspia.
Utilizing new information from the Russian and Ottoman archives,
the Eastern Question is no longer limited to a study in diplomacy,
but now acquires political, cultural, national, and economic
dimensions, and a larger cast of players."--Peter Weisensel,
Macalester College
"Integrating ethnicity, religion, popular attitudes, violence,
dislocation, mass migration, and the complexities of annexing
border provinces, all to create a textured, multi-sided glimpse
into the actual workings of the last century of Russian-Ottoman
relations, this book represents a sampling of international history
at its best."--David Goldfrank, Georgetown University
"The essays reveal the significant, often devastating impact the
manifestation of the Eastern Question had on the peoples of the
[Ottoman] empire, particularly the minorities in the western and
northern borderlands. . . . Impressively researched,
thought-provoking, and accessible."--Modern Greek Studies Yearbook
