Is there an essential Russian identity? What happens when
""Russian"" literature is written in English, by such authors as
Gary Shteyngart or Lara Vapnyar? What is the geographic ""home"" of
Russian culture created and shared via the internet? Global Russian
Cultures innovatively considers these and many related questions
about the literary and cultural life of Russians who in successive
waves of migration have dispersed to the United States, Europe, and
Israel, or who remained after the collapse of the USSR in Ukraine,
the Baltic states, and the Central Asian states. The volume's
internationally renowned contributors treat the many different
global Russian cultures not as ""displaced"" elements of Russian
cultural life but rather as independent entities in their own
right. They describe diverse forms of literature, music, film, and
everyday life that transcend and defy political, geographic, and
even linguistic borders. Arguing that Russian cultures today are
many, this volume contends that no state or society can lay claim
to be the single or authentic representative of Russianness. In so
doing, it contests the conceptions of culture and identity at the
root of nation-building projects in and around Russia.
