520 $aA History of the Peoples of Siberia is the first
ethnohistory of Siberia to appear in English, analysing
ethnographic and linguistic features of the native peoples
and tracing their history from the Russian conquest onwards.
James Forsyth assesses the impact of Russian exploration and
settlement, and looks at Siberian relations with Kazakhstan,
Mongolia and China. He shows how Russian occupation
generated warfare, tribute-exaction and exploitation to such
an extent that many doubted the capacity of the Siberian
peoples to survive. After the 1917 Revolution and the
vicissitudes of civil war (not to mention the growth of
Altai, Buryat and Yakut separatist movements) the new Soviet
regime brought 'autonomy', medical services and education.
However, the policies of the Stalinist
era--collectivisation, denomadisation, amalgamation of
settlements, Russification and the destructive environmental
effects of Russian industrial development--further
undermined the native communities, as did conscription
during the Second World War. Their critical situation in the
post-war period, revealed to outsiders as a result of
Gorbachev's policy of glasnost, is viewed as the inevitable
outcome of Leninist 'nationalities policy', and gave rise in
the 1980s to a notable 'native rights' movement. James
Forsyth compares the Siberian experience with those of
Indians and Eskimos in Canada and the USA, and the book as a
whole will provide anglophone readers with a vast corpus of
ethnographic information previously inaccessible to Western
scholars.
