Opis

This book assembles original ethnographic research into urban spaces and lifestyles in Central Asia, the Caucasus and Russia. Taken together, the case studies address cities as gateways to ‘new worlds’, both local and global, discuss ambitions of states at taming urban landscapes, and illustrate current trends of economic, religious and other lifestyles in urban Central Asia and beyond. This book was originally published as a special issue of Central Asian Survey.
