Leonard Friesen is Associate Professor and founding Chair of the Global Studies Program at Wilfrid Laurier University.
This is an important book. In a richly documented monograph,
Friesen contributes to an evolving scholarly reassessment of
provincial life in imperial Russia. Against the longstanding
consensus of a countryside mired in stagnation, Friesen describes
the economic dynamism and demographic growth of New Russia (today,
southern Ukraine) in the 19th century.
