Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, a number of linkages have
been established between newly independent Central Asian states, or
populations within them, and diaspora ethnic groups. This book
explores the roles that diaspora communities play in the recent and
ongoing emergence of national identities in Central Asia and the
Caucasus.
The loyalties of these communities are divided between their
countries of residence and those states that serve as homeland of
their particular ethno-cultural nation, and are further complicated
by connections with contested transnational notions of common
cultures and 'peoples'. Written by highly respected experts in the
field, the book addresses issues such as nationalism, conflict,
population movement, global civil society, Muslim communities in
China and relations between the new nation-states and Russia.
This innovative book will interest students and researchers of
transnationalism and Central Asian studies.
