Manning examines the formation of nineteenth century intelligentsia
print publics in the former Soviet republic of Georgia both
anthropologically and historically. At once somehow part of
"Europe," at least aspirationally, and yet rarely recognized by
others as such, Georgia attempted to forge European style publics
as a strong claim to European identity. These attempts also
produced a crisis of self-defi nition, as European Georgia sent
newspaper correspondents into newly re-conquered Oriental Georgia,
only to discover that the people of these lands were strangers. In
this encounter, the community of 'strangers' of European Georgian
publics proved unable to assimilate the people of the 'strange
land' of Oriental Georgia. This crisis produced both notions of
Georgian public life and European identity which this book
explores.
