Greta Uehling
We’re thrilled to work again with author, professor, and cultural anthropologist Greta Uehling on her book, Decolonizing Ukraine: The Indigenous People of Crimea and Pathways to Freedom. A returning client, Greta previously worked with us on her powerful book Everyday War: The Conflict over Donbas, Ukraine.
Greta Uehling is an anthropologist who specializes in the study of war, conflict, and population displacement. A Professor at the University of Michigan, she teaches seminars on human rights and humanitarianism for the Program in International and Comparative Studies.
Her new book, Decolonizing Ukraine (2025), shows readers how understanding Crimea is essential for understanding Ukraine – and the war with Russia – today.
In 2023, she published Everyday War with Cornell University Press. The book challenges conventional ideas about the role of civilians in contemporary wars and was awarded Harvard University’s Davis Book Prize.
Uehling has consulted with a number of international organizations, including UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency.
Decolonizing Ukraine: The Indigenous People of Crimea and Pathways to Freedom by Greta Uehling
Decolonizing Ukraine takes an unblinkered view of of the war on Ukraine through the voices of some of the people most affected. The book explains the logic of Russia’s occupation of Ukraine and the sources of Ukrainian resilience. Here the Indigenous people have played a key, although little known role, providing the the moral justification – and the blueprints – for reintegrating formerly occupied territories into Ukraine.
