Imperial Boundaries is a study of imperial expansion and local
transformation on Russia's Don Steppe frontier during the age of
Peter the Great. Brian Boeck connects the rivalry of the Russian
and Ottoman empires in the northern Black Sea basin to the social
history of the Don Cossacks, who were transformed from an open,
democratic, multiethnic, male fraternity dedicated to frontier
raiding into a closed, ethnic community devoted to defending and
advancing the boundaries of the Russian state. He shows how by
promoting border patrol, migration control, bureaucratic regulation
of cross-border contacts and deportation of dissidents, Peter I
destroyed the world of the old steppe and created a new imperial
Cossack order in its place. In examining this transformation,
Imperial Boundaries addresses key historical issues of imperial
expansion, the delegitimization of non-state violence, the
construction of borders, and the encroaching boundaries of state
authority in the lives of local communities.
