The work summarizes Kazakh political history, social organization, ethnographical aspects of nomadism, linguistics, and Chinese national policy. To this array of information, the book brings humanity and cultural depth, revealing how Kazakhs bless and obliquely curse, and how they experience life's joys and sorrows together with the fate and the work they share. We learn about their wedding customs and their poetry of marriage; about their involvement with the religion of Islam, and about their enduring habit of occasionally having recourse to the ancient rites of shamans.

Download or read book The Hungry Steppe written by Sarah Cameron and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2018-11-15 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hungry Steppe examines one of the most heinous crimes of the Stalinist regime: the Kazakh famine of 1930–33. More than 1.5 million people, a quarter of Kazakhstan's population, perished. Yet the story of this famine has remained mostly hidden from view. Sarah Cameron reveals this brutal story and its devastating consequences for Kazakh society. Through extremely violent means, the Kazakh famine created Soviet Kazakhstan, a stable territory with clear boundaries that was an integral part of the Soviet economy; and it forged a new Kazakh national identity. But ultimately, Cameron finds, neither Kazakhstan nor Kazakhs themselves integrated into Soviet society the way Moscow intended. The experience of the famine scarred the republic and shaped its transformation into an independent nation in 1991. Cameron examines the Kazakh famine to overturn several assumptions about violence, modernization, and nation-making under Stalin, highlighting the creation of a new Kazakh national identity and how environmental factors shaped Soviet development. Ultimately, The Hungry Steppe depicts the Soviet regime and its disastrous policies in a new and unusual light.

Download or read book Steppe Dreams written by Margarethe Adams and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. This book was released on 2020-06-16 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Steppe Dreams concerns the political significance of temporality in Kazakhstan, as manifested in public events and performances, and its reverberating effects in the personal lives of Kazakhstanis. Like many holidays in the post-Soviet sphere, public celebrations in Kazakhstan often reflect multiple temporal framings—utopian visions of the future, or romanticized views of the past—which throw light on present-day politics of identity. Adams examines the political, public aspects of temporality and the personal and emotional aspects of these events, providing a view into how time, mighty and unstoppable, is experienced in Kazakhstan.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kazakhstan is a country located in Central Asia and Eastern Europe, bordered by Russia to the north and China to the east. It is the world’s ninth largest country by land area, covering an area of 2.7 million square kilometers, and is rich in natural resources such as oil, gas, and minerals. Kazakhstan gained independence in 1991 following the collapse of the Soviet Union, and has since undergone significant economic and political reforms to become one of the world’s fastest growing economies. Despite its vast territory and abundance of resources, Kazakhstan has a relatively small population of just over 18 million people, with Kazakhs being the largest ethnic group followed by Russians and Uzbeks. The country has a diverse landscape ranging from the mountainous regions in the east to the flat, arid plains in the west. The capital city, Nur-Sultan (formerly Astana), is located in the northern part of the country and is known for its futuristic architecture. Kazakhstan’s national language is Kazakh, which is also the official language of the country, although Russian is widely spoken and understood. The country has a unique cultural heritage that has been shaped by its nomadic history and Islamic traditions. Modern Kazakhstan is known for its advancements in technology and space exploration, as well as its efforts to promote regional stability and economic development.
