Nation-Building and Identity in the Post-Soviet Space: New Tools and Approaches (original) (raw)

This edited volume investigates nation-building in the post-Soviet region through micro-social accounts of actor perceptions. It emphasizes the importance of context in nation formation and critiques existing literature while presenting a diverse range of case studies from Georgia, Kazakhstan, Tatarstan, and beyond. The contributors reveal how nation-building is an ongoing and contested process influenced by political, social, and cultural narratives, offering fresh insights into traditional and nontraditional approaches in the study of national identity.
