"This book provides an original and fascinating perspective on a little-known Asiatic people, whose history and culture have become intertwined with that of Europe. Providing a comprehensive introduction to the Kalmyk people, the twelve chapters provide a broad overview of the Kalmyk way of life by exploring many diverse themes, including: history; diaspora and identity; language; economy; the family; gender; food, dress and ornament; religion and the arts; and ethnicity and ideas of nationhood."
