He studied the Lithuanians and Latvians in the Northwest Krai of the Russian Empire and Lithuania from 1882 to 1941. As Volters began his research at a time when the printing of Lithuanian and Latgalian publications in the Latin alphabet was forbidden, this book aims to uncover his role as one of the founders of literate Lithuanian and Latvian communities. This study compares various historical and theoretical contexts in anthropology and decolonization to reveal how Volters reconciled his ethnographic work within the political goals of the empire.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vida Savoniakaite\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1836954522\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781836954521\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berghahn Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 236\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Library Binding","brand":"Vida Savoniakaite","offers":[{"title":"Library Binding","offer_id":47965994844415,"sku":"9781836954521","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_db5e1cbd-9ce4-4c1b-8c4b-405bb7875cf1.jpg?v=1767286208","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/empire-and-eduards-volters-vida-savoniakaite-9781836954521","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
