This book re-examines the origins of modern Mongolian nationalism,
discussing nation building as sponsored by the socialist Mongolian
People's Revolutionary Party and the Soviet Union and emphasizing
in particular the role of the arts and the humanities. It considers
the politics and society of the early revolutionary period and
assesses the ways in which ideas about nationhood were constructed
in a response to Soviet socialism. It goes on to analyze the
consequences of socialist cultural and social transformations on
pastoral, Kazakh, and other identities and outlines the
implications of socialist nation building on post-socialist
Mongolian national identity. Overall, Socialist and Post-Socialist
Mongolia highlights how Mongolia's population of widely scattered
seminomadic pastoralists posed challenges for socialist
administrators attempting to create a homogenous mass nation of
individual citizens who share a set of cultural beliefs, historical
memories, collective symbols, and civic ideas; additionally, the
book addresses the changes brought more recently by democratic
governance.
