In The Pechenegs: Nomads in the Political and Cultural Landscape of
Medieval Europe, Aleksander Paron offers a reflection on the
history of the Pechenegs, a nomadic people which came to control
the Black Sea steppe by the end of the ninth century. Nomadic
peoples have often been presented in European historiography as
aggressors and destroyers whose appearance led to only chaotic
decline and economic stagnation. Making use of historical and
archaeological sources along with abundant comparative material,
Aleksander Paron offers here a multifaceted and cogent image of the
nomads' relations with neighboring political and cultural
communities in the tenth and eleventh centuries.
