| Summary |
This book is dedicated to the literary and visual images of Central Asia in the works of the popular Russian artist Nikolai Karazin (1842-1908). It analyzes the ways Karazins discourse inflected, and was inflected by, the expansion of the Russian empire and therefore sheds light on the place of art and culture in the Russian colonial enterprise. It is the first attempt to interpret Karazins images of Central Asia within Russian imperial networks and within the maze of the Russian national identity that informed them. |
