Description: A Seditious and Sinister Tribe by Donald Rayfield Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description The first history in English for over 100 years of the Crimean Tatars. Publisher Description The Crimean Tatars were the Turkic-speaking native peoples of Crimea who established a powerful khanate in the 1440s, which remained in power until 1783. In this, the first history in English of this khanate for over one hundred years, eminent scholar Donald Rayfield shows that this misunderstood and much-feared nation was, in fact, a flourishing state with a vibrant literary culture, religious tolerance, a sophisticated constitution, and a prosperous economy. Rayfields book describes the establishment of the khanate, its reign, and its eventual fall, concluding with a vivid portrayal of the ruthless suppression of the Tatars first by Russia and then the Soviet Union and thefinal, effectively genocidal, invasion under Vladimir Putin.This vibrant and ultimately tragic chronicle is essential reading for anyone interested in the background of the current war in Ukraine. Author Biography Donald Rayfield is emeritus professor of Russian and Georgian at Queen Mary University of London. His books include Anton Chekhov: A Life and, from Reaktion Books, Edge of Empires: A History of Georgia, which was translated into Russian and Georgian.
