About the Book

Arguably more than any other region, the area known as Eastern Europe has been defined by its location on the map. Yet its inhabitants, from statesmen to literati and from cultural-economic elites to the poorest emigrants, have consistently forged or fathomed links to distant lands, populations, and intellectual traditions. Through a series of inventive cultural and historical explorations, Eastern Europe Unmapped dispenses with scholars’ long-time preoccupation with national and regional borders, instead raising provocative questions about the area’s non-contiguous—and frequently global or extraterritorial—entanglements.

Review :
“This collection joins a growing dissatisfaction on how we see, interpret, and portray Eastern Europe…[It] is refreshingly rich in references to lesser known recent texts on Eastern Europe, many of which have been neglected in the Anglophone literature.” • Journal of Soviet & Post-Soviet Politics & Society “Eastern Europe Unmapped lays the conceptual and empirical groundwork for a substantial new body of research. Building on a trend in the field of East European history away from the old East-West diffusion paradigm and toward transnational history, it offers an insightful critique of two dominant scholarly paradigms.” • Austrian History Yearbook “The volume's big achievement is its ‘unmapped’ thesis…German and East European language/comp lit specialists and adventurous interdisciplinarians will find a lot that is useful in Eastern Europe Unmapped, a smart and eclectic analysis of human geographical landscapes.” • Sehepunkte “This is an exciting collection that appears at a moment when scholars in eastern European studies are exploring new modes of connecting postsocialism and postcoloniality. It makes an original contribution to this emerging subdiscipline, and is highly likely to stimulate new scholarship.” • Catherine Baker, University of Hull
