If someone were to look for a concise and comprehensive book on
contemporary Ukraine, this edited volume would be a contender
number one. The articles are well-researched and solidly
argumented, and the book overall conveys an evenly strong
impression. The book makes an excellent reading overall. The
editors did an admirable work of securing contributions from
recognised authorities in the field, fitting these contributions
together and emphasising those points that had to be emphasised.
The book will become a valuable working tool for both scholars and
policy makers involved with transitional societies of Eastern
Europe and Eurasia.
*Ethnic and Racial Studies*
This volume is a useful area studies introduction to Ukraine.
*International Affairs*
Fifteen well-written and informed essays. . . . For general
readers, undergraduates, graduate students, and researchers.
*CHOICE*
In this balanced assessment, a team of specialists explores the
external and internal dimensions of national identity and
statehood, arguing that the creation of a post-Soviet Ukrainian
national identity is a multidimensional process. . . . An excellent
collection. . . . Well-argued and well-written.
*Slavic Review*
The book provides a good, general review of Ukraine's domestic and
foreign politics.
*Canadian Slavonic Papers*
An excellent volume that skillfully illuminates contemporary
Ukraine in light of national identity formation. The authors—who
hail from the United States and Ukraine—reveal how Ukraine's
multiple identities and divided loyalties affect a broad range of
internal and external problem areas. The articles are theoretically
sophisticated, empirically grounded, and of relevance to scholars
and policymakers alike.
*Alexander J. Motyl, Rutgers University-Newark*
It is an important addition to any library's steadily expanding
Ukrainian Studies shelf.
*Seer*
