The book presents the Tatar community in a new perspective, with
its rituals and strategies that allow it to maintain the identity
and distinguish itself, using categories of performance and
performativity which - despite problems with normative definitions
- have permanently entered a dictionary of culture analysis. The
author describes and analyses Tatar religion-based customs and
traditions, key moments of human life, as well as selected aspects
of everyday life, which may be considered within the category of
performances of identity. Tatar performances are deeply rooted in
religion: Islam is a fundamental part of their identity and element
of distinction. Following and performing the religious rules is
strictly connected with the notions of ethnic identity and
self-identification. Religious performances also serve them to
preserve the figure of a Muslim Tatar. This book is a unique work
documenting the life of the Tatar ethnic minority.
