Recenzii
" . . . a detailed ethnography that described the uniqueness of the circumstances in which the Kirghiz found themselves. . . . fascinating . . . "--Times Literary Supplement, June 3 2005A carefully developed ethnography that will surely be appreciated as one of the finest on peoples in Central Asia. -- MESA BulletinShahranis work is doubly significant: it is an account of a people that are now virtually inaccessible to anthropological enquiry; and it is a work by a local or native anthropologist. -- Journal of Asian Studies
