Recenzje

"The authors demonstrate that modernization, urbanization, and displacement have undermined customs and resulted in social changes, which are more evident among the Christians (Ossetians and Russians) and city-dwellers than among the Muslims and villagers. Their discussion of family histories is one of the most interesting. They uncovered startlingly large differences between the Ossetian and Cossack narratives on the one hand, and Chechen narratives on the other: the former emphasized military glory; the latter—repressions and deportations."
Victor Shnirel'man, Institute of Ethnology and Anthropology, Russian Academy of Sciences
