Drawing from ethnographic research, interviews, and archival materials, this book traces the development of national identity and statehood in Kazakhstan, focusing on the attempts to build a national state. It argues that Russification and Sovietization were not 'top-down' processes, and that they provide considerable scope for local initiatives.
