Ex-college library, stamped "withdrawn by the library"; three external stamps on outer page edges, internal ownership and inventory markings.

Boards show short creases to the corners; a couple of labels on the lower spine. -- This collective study of civil rights in Russia before the Revolution of 1917 challenges the conventional view, held by both Western and Soviet historians, that concepts of civil rights and the relationship of the individual to the state fell on barren soil in Imperial Russia. This collection of essays by specialists in diverse areas of Russian history reveals the true complexity of the issues surrounding civil rights before 1917. They offer new perspectives on familiar problems - freedom of speech and association, personal inviolability, equality before the law - and demonstrate the immediate relevance of the concept of civil rights to the study of Russian history, and of the Soviet Union today. -- Contents: Civil Rights in Russia: Legal Standards in Gestation / W.E. Butler; Property Rights, Populism, and Russian Political Culture / Richard Wortman; Peasant Land Tenure and Civil Rights Implications Before 1906 / Olga Crisp; Trojan Mare: Women's Rights and Civil Rights in Late Imperial Russia / William G. Wagner; Privileges, Rights, and Russification / Raymond Pearson; Religious Toleration in Late Imperial Russia / Peter Waldron; Concept of 'Jewish Emancipation' in a Russian Context / John D.
