Late-Soviet Stupor: Debates About Central Asian Migration in the 1980s
Through an analysis of discussions in the 1980s regarding Central Asian migration, I analyze the history of Soviet experts’ ideas in the Late-Soviet period and what kinds of arguments and logic they offer to understand the migration from Central Asia to Russia that had begun and was predicted, and how these explanations transformed and created a new discourse around the future of the Soviet Union and the post-Soviet project. I am interested in th…
Stalin’s rais: Governance practices in a Central Asian kolkhoz

One of the consequences of this approach has been a predominant interest in a few ‘key’ events. Another…

Gellner, the 'Saints' and Central Asia: Between Islam and Nationalism
This article assesses the salience for Central Asia of Ernest Gellner's theories about Islam, modernity and nationalism. Gellner has argued that modernisation homogenises culture and that this process goes together with nationalism and certain changes of emphasis within Islam. In Central Asia, Soviet modernisation did not bring long-lasting cultural or social standardisation. Evidence for this is that the traditional respect given to the status o…
