Spectacular State - Culture and National Identity in Uzbekistan

Informationen zum Autor Laura L. Adams Klappentext "Better than anyone else I have read on Central Asia, Laura L. Adams takes seriously what the local people say, and she uses her sociological background to explain how it is that they come to their conclusions. Yet "The Spectacular State" is not only a major sociological account of the region; it is also a significant contribution to broader social scientific discourses about the state and culture."--Michael D. Kennedy, author of "Cultural Formations of Postcommunism: Emancipation, Transition, Nation, and War" Zusammenfassung An analysis of how Uzbekistans cultural and political elites engaged in a program of nation-building through culture! particularly by staging spectacular mass events! after the fall of the Soviet Union.
