Jeanne Feaux de la Croix maps three iconic places as part of
Central Asians' 'moral geographies' and examines their role in
navigating socialist, neo-liberal and neo-Islamic life models.Dams
provide most of Kyrgyzstan's electricity, but are also at the heart
of regional water disputes that threaten an already shrinking Aral
Sea. Mountain pastures cover much of Central Asia's heartland and
offer a livelihood and refuge, even to urban citizens. Pilgrimage
sites have recovered from official Soviet oblivion and act as
cherished scenes of decision-making. Examining how iconic places,
work and well-being can mesh together, this book moves debates
about post-Soviet memory, space and property onto fresh terrain.
