In 1991, the centrifugal forces of ethnic nationalism destroyed the
Soviet Union. Religious and ethnic issues will be the defining
principles of political life in East Europe, Transcaucasia, and
Central Asia for the next decade. Yet when most Americans and
Europeans read, for instance, of the Ossetians and Ingush, they
have no idea who these peoples are or why they are fighting. This
volume will provide a ready reference for students, researchers,
and librarians who are trying to sort out the political and social
struggles in that part of the world. Focusing on ethnolinguistic
groups rather than peoples with purely religious orientations,
Olson provides entries on over 450 ethnic groups, with appropriate
cross-references. Each entry concludes with references, and the
volume includes a selected bibliography of English-language titles.
The volume also includes a chronology, several appendixes providing
statistical information, and an appendix essay on Islam in Russia
and the Soviet Union.
