| For its citizens, contemporary Central Asia is a land of great promise and peril. While the end of Soviet rule has opened new opportunities for social mobility and cultural expression, political and economic dynamics have also imposed severe hardships. In this lively volume, contributors from a variety of disciplines examine how ordinary Central Asians lead their lives and navigate shifting historical and political trends. Stories of Turkmen nomads, Afghan villagers, Kazakh scientists, Kyrgyz border guards, a Tajik strongman, guardians of religious shrines in Uzbekistan, and other narratives illuminate important issues of gender, religion, power, culture, and wealth. A vibrant and dynamic world of life in urban neighborhoods and small villages, at weddings and celebrations, at classroom tables, and around dinner tables emerges from this introduction to a geopolitically strategic and culturally fascinating region. The section "gender" includes the following articles: The Limits of Liberation: Gender, Revolution, and the Veil in Everyday Life in Soviet Uzbekistan (Douglas Northrop) * The Wedding Feast: Living the New Uzbek Life in the 1930s (Marianne Kamp) * Practical Consequences of Soviet Policy and Ideology for Gender in Central Asia and Contemporary Reversal (Elizabeth Constantine) * Dinner with Akhmet (post-Soviet gender ideologies in Tajikistan - Greta Uehling) * Konstitutsiya Buzildi: Gender Relations in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan (Peter Finke and Meltem Sancak). | |
