This book is novel not only in its theoretical framework, which
places racialisation in post-communist societies and their
modernist political projects at the centre of processes of global
racism, but also in being the first account to examine both these
new national contexts and the interconnections between racisms in
these four regions of the Baltic states, the Southern Caucasus,
Central Asia and Belarus, Moldova and Ukraine, and elsewhere.
Assessments of the significance of the contemporary geopolitical
contexts of armed conflict, economic transformation and political
transition for racial discourse are central themes, and the book
highlights the creative, innovative and persistent power of
contemporary forms of racial governance which has central
significance for understanding contemporary societies. The book
will be of interest to scholars and students in the areas of racism
and ethnicity studies. "What an important and much-needed addition
to the growing, but still grossly insufficient, body of work on
Soviet racial thinking and its impact on Soviet and post-Soviet
racisms. At the time of renewed racial tensions in the West and the
growing racial anxieties underlying a variety of nation-building
projects in the former Soviet spaces it is important to understand
the often ignored linkages between Communist paternalism and
Western views of race and racial difference. Even though its focus
remains the former Soviet Union this book contains a valuable
analytical toolkit for the scholars of race and racism across
political and geographical boundaries." -Maxim Matusevich, Seton
Hall University, USA "Post-Soviet Racisms is the first
comprehensive comparative study of the politics of race in
post-Soviet states. Why do racialising or overtly racist theories
at times become central to the construction of post-Soviet
identities? How do racisms of the dominant national groups and
minorities compare? How does the process of the transnational
circulation of racist and racialising discourses work? These are
some of the important questions which are addressed in this
ground-breaking book that enriches our understanding of the
complexity of the current developments in the region." -Vera Tolz,
University of Manchester, UK
