Synopsis

Wedged between China, Korea, Japan, and the United States, the Russian Far East has for centuries been a meeting ground for Eurasian and American peoples and cultures. Conventionally regarded as a perimeter, it is in fact a collage of overlapping borderlands with a distinct historical identity. Based on a quarter-century of research by a leading authority on the area, this is a monumental survey of Pacific Siberia from prehistoric times to the present.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

“A coherent, literate, and always informed comprehensive history of the region that presents the Russian Far East as both more vibrant and cosmopolitan than the conventional picture. . . . Stephan has produced that rarest of academic monographs: a consistently reliable synthesis that is fun to read. . . . It should be a standard English-language reference tool on the Russian Far East for years to come.”—International History Review
