Despite Cultures
«"Botakoz Kassymbekova has developed an insightful analysis demonstrating the power and persistence of culture. This work, based on years of painstaking study in the archives of Tajikistan, sparkles with anecdotes as it builds an intriguing argument about human nature struggling against the anonymising social engineering at the heart of the Soviet control of Central Asia." — Europe-Asia Studies, 70.7 (2018)»
