Item Description...
Product Description
This major work lays bare the wilful destruction of peoples, cultures and the environment by a centralised state. It is about the dehumanization of society, of human dignity and human values. The nightmare goes back to czarist times, when colonization of the ancestral lands of the peoples of Caucasus and Central Asia commenced. It was then that the orientalist attitudes surfaced, so admirably diagnosed by Edward Said in his major work "Orientalism", resulting in the denigration of the conquered peoples, portraying them as savage barbarians. The soviet leaders and system largely continued the basic policies, and perpetuated the basic attitudes, of the czars towards the indigenous peoples of the conquered lands
