Abstract
Review:"Among the most impressive contributions to this volume is James Kapalo’s effort to rescue the Gagauz people of southern Moldavia (a Christian people of Turkic descent) from academic obscurity. The meat of his study, a fascinating account of successful efforts in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries to codify the Gagauz language (which invariably involved competing claims about the ethnic origins of the Gagauz people) should be essential reading for anyone interested in identity formation in Central Europe." (Thomas A, Larman, Central Europe 10:1 (2012), p. 80)
