While moving across borders has been made easier for some in Russia
in recent years, for others, physical as well as socio-cultural
borders are proving to be more and more difficult to cross.
Tackling the differences between the ways in which official
discourses construct borders and the ways people who live there
experience them in their everyday lives, this book uses innovative
theoretical approaches and empirical work with young North
Caucasian migrants to explore issues of identity, citizenship,
exclusion and belonging. The Chechen war, terrorist attacks and
confrontations between Caucasian migrants and local residents have
served as touchstones for intense public debates about who belongs
in Russian society and who does not. Young people of North
Caucasian origin are experiencing the effects of such debates as
they learn to negotiate and maintain their identities in an
environment in which they are defined as a threat to national
security whilst simultaneously being pressured to align with core
civic values of the state. This book reflects on the notion that
the cultural borders, which define civic liberties and people's
right to belong, are increasingly being defined within society, and
not by the external borders of states.
