Notes to Pages 11–17 195


  1. Work on Muslim migrations in Russia and the USSR from other fields and disciplines is vast,
    multilingual, and by a multinational group of scholars primarily from Europe, the former Soviet
    Union, Japan, and Turkey. See, for example, see Allen J. Frank, Islamic Historiography and “Bulghar”
    Identity among the Tatars and Bashkirs of Russia (Leiden: Brill, 1998); Michael Kemper, “Khalidiyya
    Networks in Daghestan and the Question of Jihad,” in Die Welt des Islams vol. 42, 1 (2002): 41–71;
    and H. Komatsu, C. Obiya and J. Schoeberlein, eds. Migration in Central Asia: Its History and Current
    Problems (Osaka: Japan Center for Area Studies, National Museum of Ethnology, 2000).

  2. For a brilliant attempt to narrate history in a way that overcomes (and undermines) the false
    clarity of formal state borders, see Paul Carter, The Road to Botany Bay: An Exploration of Land-
    scape and History (Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press, 1987). See also Martin W. Lewis
    and Kären E. Wigen, The Myth of Continents: A Critique of Metageography (Berkeley: University of
    California Press, 1997).

  3. For a fascinating recent study that extends the Russian Empire to encompass nonterritorial
    spaces on the ocean, see Ryan Tucker Jones, Empire of Extinction: Russians and the North Pacific’s
    Strange Beasts of the Sea (New York: Oxford University Press, 2014). For a marvelously innovative
    narrative of Russian history through the biography of one man, and one that ventures somewhat
    beyond Russia’s formal borders, see Willard Sunderland, The Baron’s Cloak: A History of the Russian
    Empire in War and Revolution (Ithaca, NY: Cornell University Press, 2014). See also Martin and
    Wigen, The Myth of Continents, 1–19.
