Join Farid Shafiyev for a presentation on his new book, Resettling the Borderlands: State Relocations and Ethnic Conflict in the South Caucasus. The launch will be held in Room 200 of the Faculty of Arts, Charles University in Prague, CZ.

Taking a comparative approach, the book looks at the most active phases of resettlement, when the state imported and relocated waves of German, Russian and Armenian settlers into the South Caucasus and deported thousands of others.
