A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

This ethnography of the Russian North focuses on post-Soviet relations of domination between an indigenous minority and a non-indigenous majority in an urban setting. Patty Gray charts the political transformation in Chukotka as its administration sought to represent itself as 'democratic' while becoming ever more repressive, especially toward the indigenous population. The 'predicament' refers to how the nascent indigenous movement was prepared to address Soviet-style domination, and instead was confronted with this 'new Russian' style.

Revue de presse :

'Gray insightfully approaches this situation in terms of control of space ... it provides the context necessary to understand the situation in Chokotka today. I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in Chukotka and in indigenous issues more generally.' Virginie Vaté, Siberian Studies Centre, Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology, Germany
