Kazakhstan - Ethnicity, Language and Power (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Presenting an overview of post-Soviet Kazakhstan, focusing in particular on the attempts to build a national state, this book argues that Russification and Sovietization were not simply 'top-down' processes. It shows that they provide considerable scope for local initiatives, and that Soviet ethnically-based affirmative action policies have had a lasting impact on ethnic élite formation and the rise of a distinct brand of national consciousness.
