Description
Book SynopsisThis book reveals how ethnicity and notions of a traditional homeland interact in shaping a community's values and images through a close look at the Kazakhs of Mongolia.
Trade Review"Basing this book on extensive fieldwork and an impressive command of the relevant academic publications and original sources in three languages, Diener has produced a masterful study of the evolving ethno-political changes being experienced today by mongolia's Kazakh communities." --
CHOICE"So,
One Homeland or Two? Each of the subjects finds his or her individual answer, but the plethora of answers assembled by Diener collectively form a set of lessons important to Inner and Central Asianists and to political and social scientists who work beyond state and regional boundaries." -- Rick Miller *
Social and Cultural Geography *
"While the literature on diaspora, homecoming, and homeland is vast, there is very little discussion of these issues and concepts as they relate to the Kazakhs. This book is of great import to the international migration field." -- Elzbieta M. Gozdziak * Georgetown University *
