Kazakhstan's growing presence in global literature shines as its authors secure accolades at the Hertfordshire Press Awards. Winning in three categories, they highlight the region's rich cultural narratives and intellectual depth. These victories not only celebrate individual talent but also place Kazakhstan firmly on the literary map, fostering a deeper global appreciation for Eurasian voices. Such recognition underscores the power of storytelling in bridging cultures and inspiring understanding. As Central Asia continues to emerge as a vibrant hub of creativity, its literary achievements will undoubtedly enrich the global cultural landscape. These awards mark a promising step forward. https://lnkd.in/gErfka8B

A book I very much enjoyed reading, and definitely recommend to students doing ethnographic research #positionality:
In 'Collaborative Damage', three anthropologists document China’s involvement in Mongolia and Mozambique. In the field, they constantly argue with each other on how to interpret what they see and these disagreements become a central theme of the book. Read the conversation between two of the authors and Christian Sorace in Global China Pulse.

In The Politics of Culture in Soviet Azerbaijan: 1920-40 (2016), author Audrey L. Altstadt’s main thesis is that, for Azerbaijanis and other non-Russians, the “forms” of their culture (folk dance, poetry, painting) survived under Soviet rule and “were used by the Soviet regime to support its claims to cultural construction and nation-building,” however, the “substance” of native culture, “the content of the vessels in national form, as embodied in language, written in literature, and taught in schools … became a battleground with enormous casualties.”[1] Altstadt describes how the Soviet regime, in implementing its nationalities policy, destroyed the burgeoning local national consciousness and identity.[2]
