“Between Two Fires addresses an important series of topics for anthropology in general and for the study of the Soviet Union and for postsocialist Russia in particular. Lemon weds current theoretical concerns to an understudied but significant community.” — Martha Lampland, author of, The Object of Labor: Commodification in Socialist Hungary

“This is an extraordinarily insightful account of the performance of being ‘Gypsy’ in Russia. Theoretically sophisticated, it illuminates Russian as well as Romani culture, and delves into issues of naming, mobility, transgression, and authenticity. This book is a must for anyone interested in advances in anthropology as well as contemporary Russian culture.” — Caroline Humphrey, coauthor of, The End of Nomadism? Society, State, and the Environment in Inner Asia
