Ethnographies of the State in Central Asia: Performing Politics de Madeleine Reeves

Ethnographies of the State in Central Asia: Performing Politics

Editat de Madeleine Reeves, Johan Rasanayagam, Judith Beyer
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 9 ian 2014
With fresh and provocative insights into the everyday reality of politics in post-Soviet Central Asia, this volume moves beyond commonplaces about strong and weak states to ask critical questions about how democracy, authority, and justice are understood in this important region. In conversation with current theories of state power, the contributions draw on extensive ethnographic research in settings that range from the local to the transnational, the mundane to the spectacular, to provide a unique perspective on how politics is performed in everyday life.

Recenzii

"This is the first volume to seriously engage ethnographically with the political in Central Asia. It represents some of the best research ongoing in Central Asia and yields valuable insights into how ethnography contributes not only to understanding what matters to people, but to seeing how the performance of politics creates the state as theater with the population as both actor and audience. As a contribution to the ethnography of Central Asia, it is among the best; as a contribution to understanding politics in Central Asia, it is exceptional." —David Montgomery, University of Pittsburgh
