Russian Speakers in Post-Soviet Latvia: Discursive Identity Strategies

Ammon Cheskin

Russian Speakers in Post-Soviet Latvia

Discursive Identity Strategies

This book provides a fresh methodological approach to the study of discourses and discursive strategies, especially within post-Soviet contexts. What makes this project distinctive from a number of other studies of discourse is that it is concerned with the temporally contingent nature of discourses. As such, it outlines a coherent methodology to study the evolution of discourses over time, rather than a single de-contextualised and static time period.
