Since the Baltic nations joined the European Union, debates about
reorganizing national representations in the post-Soviet republics have
grown increasingly heated. How do citizens in the South Caucasian and
Baltic states cope with EU expansion and the feeling of belonging
simultaneously "inside" and "outside" Europe? Based on ethnographies and
archival work, Representations on the Margins of Europe offers new
insights into shifts in the national identity, cultural geography, and
symbolic boundaries. This exploration of local responses to Europe´s new
hegemony will appeal to anyone interested in anthropology, history, and
politics.
