This social and cultural analysis provides a new understanding of
Kazakhstan's younger generations that emerged during the rule of
Nursultan Nazarbayev, who has been presiding over Kazakhstan for
the thirty years since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Half of
Kazakhstan's population was born after he took power and have no
direct memory of the Soviet regime. Since the early 2000s, they
have lived in a world of political stability and relative material
affluence, and have developed a strong consumerist culture. Even
with growing government restrictions on media, religion, and formal
public expression, they have been raised in a comparatively free
country. This book offers the first collective study of the
"Nazarbayev Generation," illuminating the diversity of the
country's younger generations and the transformations of social and
cultural norms that have taken place over the course of three
decades. The contributors to this collection move away from
state-centric, top-down perspectives in favor of grassroots
realities and bottom-up dynamics in order to better integrate
sociological data.
