"Eco-nationalism is an outstanding work and long-awaited contribution to our understanding of the relationship between environmental activism and national awakening during the Gorbachev era. It is an absolute must for those who want to understand the source, causes, and dynamics of nationalism in late- and post-communist society." - John L'wenhardt, Institute of East European Law and Russian Studies, Leiden University "This is a superb study that combines theoretical insight with extensive, on-site research in three republics of the former Soviet Union. Unique in its systematic comparisons of social movements in the three republics, and in its exploration of the interaction among issues of environmentalism, nationalism and political participation. A "must read" for students of communist and post-communist systems." - George W. Breslauer, University of California at Berkeley
