Produktbeschreibung

"Better than anyone else I have read on Central Asia, Laura L. Adams takes seriously what the local people say, and she uses her sociological background to explain how it is that they come to their conclusions. Yet "The Spectacular State" is not only a major sociological account of the region; it is also a significant contribution to broader social scientific discourses about the state and culture."--Michael D. Kennedy, author of "Cultural Formations of Postcommunism: Emancipation, Transition, Nation, and War"
