Investigating changes in upbringing in the North Caucasus, a
region notorious for violent conflict, this book explores the lives
of the generation born after the dissolution of the USSR who grew
up under conditions of turmoil and rapid social change. It avoids
the traditional presentation of the North Caucasus as a locus of
violence, and instead presents the life of people in the region
through the lens of the young generation growing up there.
Using focus groups with teachers and students of different
ethnic groups, as well as surveys and essays written by children,
the book suggests that while the legacy of conflict plays a role in
many children s lives, it is by no means the only factor in their
upbringing. It explores how conflict has influenced upbringing, and
goes on to consider factors such as the revival of religion, the
impact of social and economic upheaval, and the shifting balance
between school and parents. As well as revealing the dynamic
influences on children s upbringing in the region, the book
presents recommendations on how to address some of the challenges
that arise. The role of government in education is also evaluated,
and prospects for the future are considered. The book is useful for
students and scholars of Education, Sociology and Central Asian
Studies.
