Continental trade played a key role in establishing and expanding the power of the Moscow state and later the Russian Empire in the ethnically diverse Siberian borderland. Erika Monahan's book is an attempt to analyze the relationship between the merchant world and state-building in the early modern period, as well as to shed light on the social history of several merchant dynasties in Russia. She focuses on several generations of three families that traded in Siberia for more than a century: the Filatievs, who belonged to Russia's merchant elite; the Shababins, Muslim immigrants who mastered local and long-distance trade while successfully combining private enterprise with service to the Russian state; and the Noritsyns, merchants of more modest status who were active in the burgeoning Russian-Chinese trade. The author of this book explores the lifestyles they led, the strategies they resorted to in dealing with the state, and the social niches they occupied in the Siberian frontier. Erica Monahan is a historian and professor at the University of New Mexico, USA.
