Ukraine means borderland. It is an appropriate name for a land that lies on the southeastern edge of Europe, on the threshold of Asia, along the fringes of the Mediterranean world, and astride the once important border between sheltering forests and the open steppe. In area, it is the second-largest country, after Russia, in Europe. And its current population of about 50 million is close to that of France. Yet the history of this important country and its people is little know, and even less understood. Nature has been generous to Ukraine, history has not. Because of its natural riches and accessibility from ancient past to most recent times, Ukraine, perhaps more than any other country in Europe, has experienced devastating foreign invasions and conquests. Consequently, foreign domination and the struggle against it is a paramount theme in its history. Orest Subtelny surveys Ukraine's history from the earliest to contemporary times. He explores the five main periods of Ukrainian history - Kievan Rus', the Polish-Lithuanian period, the Cossack era, Ukraine under imperial rule, and Ukraine in the twentieth century - portraying each in terms of its social, economic, and cultural aspects, as well as its political history. Much attention is devoted to modern times, and to Ukrainian communities abroad. Played out on a vast, open, and richly endowed stage, Ukraine's history is long, colorful, and unusually turbulent. Ukraine is a clear, concise, and dispassionate exploration of that complex history.

The past twenty years have seen a proliferation of specialist scholarship on the period of India's transition to colonialism. This volume provides a synthesis of some of the most important themes to emerge from recent work and seeks in particular to reassess the role of Indians in the politics and economics of early colonialism. It discusses new views of the 'decline of the Moghuls' and the role of the Indian capitalists in the expansion of the English East Indian Company's trade and urban settlements. Professor Bayly considers the reasons for the inability of indigenous states to withstand the British, but also highlights the relative failure of the Company to transform India into a quiescent and profitable colony. Later chapters deal with changes in India's ecology, social organisation and ideologies in the nineteenth century, and analyse the nature of Indian resistance to colonialism, including the rebellion of 1857.
