Beskrivning
Post-Cold War historiography of modern Central Asia has been characterized by a focus on cultural history. Most of this scholarship rests on a set of assumptions about traditional institutions and social practices which merely reflect the bias of Soviet or even Tsarist-era historiography. 'Explorations in the Social History of Modern Central Asia addresses the need for a remedy to this state of affairs and thus offers new insights on a number of subjects relating to the social history of the region. It includes essays dealing with property relations, resource management, forms of local administration, the constitution of new social groups, the construction of identity categories, and an enquiry into the landscape of Islamic practices among the nomads.

'If social history is ‘one of the less fashionable intellectual enterprises of these days’, this edited volume more than makes the case for a revival of the discipline.(...) the overall accomplishments of this volume, which identifies exciting new directions of research in between, and beyond, these fragmented ‘singular stories.’Jennifer Griffiths, School of Slavonic & East European Studies, University College London, Central Asian Survey 2014.
