Intermarriage from Central Europe to Central Asia examines the
practice and experience of interethnic marriage in a range of
countries and eras, from imperial Germany to present-day
Tajikistan. In this interdisciplinary volume Adrienne Edgar and
Benjamin Frommer have drawn contributions from anthropologists and
historians. The contributors explore the phenomenon of
intermarriage both from the top down, in the form of state policies
and official categories, and from the bottom up, through an
intimate look at the experience and agency of mixed families in
modern states determined to control the lives and identities of
their citizens to an unprecedented degree. Contributors address the
tensions between state ethnic categories and the subjective
identities of individuals, the status of mixed individuals and
families in a region characterized by continual changes in national
borders and regimes, and the role of intermarried couples and their
descendants in imagining supranational communities. The first of
its kind, Intermarriage from Central Europe to Central Asia is a
foundational text for the study of intermarriage and ethnic mixing
in Eastern Europe and Eurasia.
