Although relative latecomers on the international scene, the Central Asian states see themselves as globalized, and yet in spite of - or perhaps precisely because of - this, they hold a very classical vision of the nation-state, rejecting the abolition of boundaries and the theory of the 'death of the nation'. Their unabashed celebration of very classical nationhoods built on post-modern premises challenges the Western view of nationalism as a dying ideology that ought to have been transcended by post-national cosmopolitanism. Marlene Laruelle looks at how states in the region have been navigating the construction of a nation in a post-imperial context where Russia remains the dominant power and cultural reference. She takes into consideration the ways in which the Soviet past has influenced the construction of national storylines, as well as the diversity of each state's narratives and use of symbolic politics. Exploring state discourses, academic narratives and different forms of popular nationalist storytelling allows Laruelle to depict the complex construction of the national pantheon in the three decades since independence. The second half of the book focuses on Kazakhstan as the most hybrid national construction and a unique case study of nationhood in Eurasia. Based on the principle that only multidisciplinarity can help us to untangle the puzzle of nationhood, Central Peripheries uses mixed methods, combining political science, intellectual history, sociology and cultural anthropology. It is inspired by two decades of fieldwork in the region and a deep knowledge of the region's academia and political environment. Praise for Central Peripheries 'Marlene Laruelle paves the way to the more focused and necessary outlook on Central Asia, a region that is not a periphery but a central space for emerging conceptual debates and complexities. Above all, the book is a product of Laruelle's trademark excellence in balancing empirical depth with vigorous theoretical advancements.' - Diana T. Kudaibergenova, University of Cambridge 'Using the concept of hybridity, Laruelle explores the multitude of historical, political and geopolitical factors that predetermine different ways of looking at nations and various configurations of nation-building in post-Soviet Central Asia. Those manifold contexts present a general picture of the transformation that the former southern periphery of the USSR has been going through in the past decades.' - Sergey Abashin, European University at St Petersburg. 410 0$aFringe (UCL Press) 517 $aCentral Peripheries 606 $aNation-building 615 0$aNation-building. 676 $a327.1 700 $aLaruelle$b Marle?ne$0782914 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910512204703321 996 $aCentral peripheries$92950711 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03954nam 2200721 a 450 001 9910781247603321 005 20221005194843.0 010 $a0-8014-6187-1 024 7 $a10.7591/9780801461873 035 $a(CKB)2550000000036207 035 $a(EBL)3138174 035 $a(OCoLC)732957150 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000535038 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11965732 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000535038 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10520578 035 $a(PQKB)10955713 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse28940 035 $a(DE-B1597)535277 035 $a(OCoLC)1129173832 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780801461873 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3138174 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10468053 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3138174 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000000036207 100 $a20070712d2008 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aCitizenship across borders$b[electronic resource] $ethe political transnationalism of El migrante /$fMichael Peter Smith and Matt Bakker 210 $aIthaca $cCornell University Press$dc2008 215 $a1 online resource (261 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a0-8014-4608-2 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $apt. 1.

The two faces of transnational citizenship. 330 $aMichael Peter Smith and Matt Bakker spent five years carrying out ethnographic field research in multiple communities in the Mexican states of Zacatecas and Guanajuato and various cities in California, particularly metropolitan Los Angeles. Combining the information they gathered there with political-economic and institutional analysis, the five extended case studies in Citizenship across Borders offer a new way of looking at the emergent dynamics of transnational community development and electoral politics on both sides of the border. Smith and Bakker highlight the continuing significance of territorial identifications and state policies-particularly those of the sending state-in cultivating and sustaining transnational connections and practices. In so doing, they contextualize and make sense of the complex interplay of identity and loyalty in the lives of transnational migrant activists. In contrast to high-profile warnings of the dangers to national cultures and political institutions brought about by long-distance nationalism and dual citizenship, Citizenship across Borders demonstrates that, far from undermining loyalty and diminishing engagement in U.S. political life, the practice of dual citizenship by Mexican migrants actually provides a sense of empowerment that fosters migrants' active civic engagement in American as well as Mexican politics. 606 $aTransnationalism$xPolitical aspects$zUnited States 606 $aTransnationalism$xPolitical aspects$zMexico 606 $aImmigrants$xPolitical activity$zUnited States 606 $aMexican Americans$xPolitics and government 606 $aCitizenship$zUnited States 606 $aCitizenship$zMexico 607 $aUnited States$xEmigration and immigration$xPolitical aspects 607 $aMexico$xEmigration and immigration$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aTransnationalism$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aTransnationalism$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aImmigrants$xPolitical activity 615 0$aMexican Americans$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aCitizenship 615 0$aCitizenship 676 $a323.6/3 700 $aSmith$b Michael P$066607 701 $aBakker$b Matt$f1971-$0935792 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781247603321 996 $aCitizenship across borders$93731597 997 $aUNINA
