Product Description

Product Description

This is the first volume of field work, based on western ethnological standard, about the Kazakhs of Kazakhstan since Alfred E. Hudson's work published in 1938. Based on fieldwork conducted throughout the region, the various articles reflect the contemporary life of rural and urban Kazakhs. A common theme is the socio-cultural aspects of how their way of life has changed since independence.

5.0 out of 5 stars correction, 31 Mar 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Contemporary Kazakhs: Cultural and Social Perspectives (Hardcover)
Just a comment as the author of the last paper in this book: never did I describe the Kazaks in Mongolia as impoverished. They are not - at least when compared to those living in rural Kazakstan.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended work of considerable scholarship., 4 July 2000
By Midwest Book Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Contemporary Kazakhs: Cultural and Social Perspectives (Hardcover)
Contemporary Kazakhs: Cultural And Social Perspectives is a superb ethnological survey of the Kazaks of Kazakstan with articles reflecting the contemporary life of rural and urban Kazaks. This meticulous collection revolves around the them of how the Kazak way of life has evolved and changed since achieving political independence. The contributors include Ingvar Svanberg (The Kazak Nation); Karen Odgaard and Jens Simonsen (The New Kazak Elite); Cynthia Ann Werner (The Dynamics of Feasting and Gift Exchange in Rural Kazakstan); Hilda C. Eitzen (Nawri'z in Kazakstan: Scenarios for Managing Diversity); and Peter Finke (The Kazaks of Western Mongolia). Enhanced with a bibliography and index, Contemporary Kazakhs is a work of highly recommended scholarship for students of international and ethnography studies in general, and Kazakstan in particular.
