From Belonging to Belief: Modern Secularisms and the Construction of Religion in Kyrgyzstan - Central Eurasia in Context
Julie McBrien
Presents a nuanced ethnographic study of Islam and secularism in post-Soviet Central Asia, as seen from the small town of Bazaar-Korgon in southern Kyrgyzstan. Opening with the juxtaposition of a statue of Lenin and a mosque in the town square, Julie McBrien proceeds to peel away the multiple layers that have shaped the return of public Islam in the region.
