Opis

The demise of the Soviet Union in 1991 resulted in new state-led nation-building projects in Central Asia with the emergence of independent republics. Presenting a detailed study, this book examines the state-led nation-building projects in the Soviet republics of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. It explores the involvement of the Soviet state in creating Kazakh and Uzbek nations, placing the discussion within the theoretical literature on nationalism.
