This volume contributes new insights to the scientific debate on
post-Socialist urbanities. Based on ethnographic research in cities
of Central Asia, the Caucasus and Russia, its contributions
scrutinise the social production of diverse public, parochial and
private spaces in conjunction with patterns of everyday encounter,
identification, consumption and narration. The analyses extend from
the transnational entanglements between a Dushanbe bazaar and
hyper-modern Dubai to the micro-level hierarchies in a flat-sharing
community in Astana. They explore competing notions of urban
belonging and aesthetics in Yerevan, local perception of Central
Asian Muslims in Kazan and Saint Petersburg, and more, providing a
rich tapestry of academic study. Taken together, the case studies
address cities as gateways to 'new worlds' (both local and global),
discuss ambitions of states at taming urban landscapes, and
illustrate current trends of economic, religious and other
lifestyles in urban Central Asia and beyond. This book was
originally published as a special issue of Central Asian Survey.
