520 |a "Rewriting history and redrawing boundaries are ancient political strategies for shaping national identity, nation-building and establishing territorial claims. Ethnicity and cultural heritage are especially powerful symbols, and therefore targets, for territorial claims – a process exemplified by the Republic of Azerbaijan's state-sponsored invention of its own national identity. As the only former Soviet republic not to be established on an established ethnic group, ever since its creation in 1918 Azerbaijan has used strategies adapted from the USSR and Pan-Turkism movement to create a national mythos at odds with the historical and geographical reality. This new study examines the motives and methodology employed by Azerbaijani historians and geographers over the past century in officially recreating the history, boundaries and even ethnicity of this historically volatile region. Particular focus is given to Azerbaijan's campaign for the geohistorical appropriation of neighbouring Armenia and Iranian Azerbaijan, a selective campaign that ignores Georgia and Russia's North Caucasus. The evidence of the ancient and later cartographers as well as the Graeco-Roman historians and the accounts of Islamic and European travellers confirm the international position that runs counter to Azerbaijan's claims." --Descripción del editor.
