"This book, though controversial in perspective, is an
anthropological tour de force. Through detailed description,
Tishkov enables readers to see behind the banal generalities around
such terms as self-determination. The book puts a foreign
world--ethnic and national violence--under a microscope and reports
on those details that are unfortunately lost in all too many
informed discussions."--David D. Laitin, author of "Identity in
Formation: The Russian-Speaking Populations in the Near Abroad
"Non-Russian students of ethnicity have long admired Valery
Tishkov as a supremely knowledgeable specialist in the subject, an
acerbic critic of careless description, and a superb organizer of
research. Here, however, we discover a sympathetic observer,
historical analyst, and concerned citizen who deplores war's
destructiveness. Tishkov brings Chechen voices to eloquent witness
against sham and obfuscation."--Charles Tilly, author of "Durable
Inequality
"This is a most valuable book on an important subject about
which Americans know little. I recommend this book to anyone
interested in the all-important U.S./Russia relationship as well as
to general students of international affairs."--Thomas Graham Jr.,
former U.S. ambassador and author of "Disarmament Sketches: Three
Decades of Arms Control and International Law
