{"product_id":"9781800738980","title":"Kharkov\/Kharkiv : A Borderland Capital by Volodymyr Kravchenko","description":"Kharkiv is Ukraine's second largest city and its former capital. Situated within 40 km of the Ukrainian-Russian border it is one of those East-Central European \"liminal\" cities which became a center of modernization and pluralization in the borderland area, playing a prominent role in the process of nation building. Volodymyr Kravchenko's expanded edition of Kharkov\/Kharkiv, now in the English-language and including a new chapter on the reconfiguration of the Ukrainian-Russian borderland during and after the watershed Euromaidan event, uniquely uncovers the city's long history, from the 17th century to today. Addressing issues of regional and national identities, Ukrainian-Russian relations, mental mapping, historical narratives and the ensuing de\/reconstruction of national mythologies, this book, fills a unique gap in the literature on Kharkiv.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56307324551541,"sku":"9781800738980","price":107.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781800738980.jpg?v=1762803571","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781800738980","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
