| Scope and content |
This collection about the Kazakhs, a central Asian people who live mainly in the Republic of Kazakhstan and in the Xinjiang Uigur Autonomous Region of China, consists of 15 documents that cover a wide variety of ethnographic topics from approximately 1821 to 2005. For a general overview of Kazak ethnography, see Forde, and Svanberg. Other major topics include: Kazak social institutions in Hudson; the impact of the Russian conquest of Kazakhstan on native judicial customs in Grodekov; kinship systems and kinship terminology in Arghynbaev; and land use changes among the Kazak in two townships in western China in Bedunah and Harris. Other subjects of ethnographic interest in this collection are: an examination of the Kazak intellectual elite; an examination of the resurgence of feasting and gift-giving among Kazak households in the post-Soviet era; migration patterns in western Mongolia; and spirituality and Muslim life among the Kazaks in the city of Turkistan, in southern Kazakstan. |
