A history of the peoples of Siberia: Russia’s north Asian colony 1581-1990

This is the first ethnohistory of Siberia to appear in English, and presents to an anglophone audience a vast corpus of previously inaccessible ethnographic and linguistic material. It covers from the early history of Siberia after the Russian conquest to collectivization and conscription during World War II and to the 1980s movement for native rights. In this, the first substantive “post-Glasnost” account to appear, James Forsyth compares the Siberian experience with that of Indians and Eskimos in North America.
