Kelly O’Neill is associate professor of history at Harvard University and a faculty associate of the Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies.
“Deeply-researched. . . This is O’Neill’s first book; we can
look forward with anticipation to those we must hope will
follow.”—Andrew Sheppard, East-West Review
“A timely analysis…As a contribution in the growing subfield of
studies of imperial Russia’s management of its land and people, it
mines new sources by integrating scientific studies very
successfully into this project.” —Matthew P. Romaniello, American
Historical Review
“Kelly O’Neill has made a formidable, almost frustratingly detailed
contribution to the history of imperial Russia and the emerging
field of trans-imperial history. She has not only produced a wealth
of empirical detail but also encourages us to rethink the meaning
of imperial borders, borderlands, and spatial categories in
general.” —Stefan B. Kirmse, H-Soz-Kult
"In this imaginative and beautifully written study, Kelly O'Neill
delves into the little-known history of Russian imperial expansion
in the Crimea to offer a fresh view of imperialism. The story she
tells is one of grand ideas and epic conflict but also of myriad
mundane deals and local arrangements, all of them shaped by the
complex human and natural environments of the peninsula."—Willard
Sunderland, author of The Baron's Cloak: A History of the Russian
Empire in War and Revolution
