Arguably more than any other region, the area known as Eastern Europe has been defined by its location on the map. Yet its inhabitants, from statesmen to literati and from cultural-economic elites to the poorest emigrants, have consistently forged or fathomed links to distant lands, populations, and intellectual traditions. Through a series of inventive cultural and historical explorations, Eastern Europe Unmapped dispenses with scholarsโ long-time preoccupation with national and regional borders, instead raising provocative questions about the areaโs non-contiguousโand frequently global or extraterritorialโentanglements.
