Beschreibung:
This book provides a penetrative study of major conflicts resulting from theoretical analysis of such phenomena as post-Soviet new diasporas and forced migration demonstrated by the case of ethnic Russians, ethnic violence illustrated by the Osh conflict in Central Asia, the anatomy of ethnic cleansing traced through the Osset-Ingush conflict, the ambitions of leaders, and the arrogance of force displayed in the Chechen War.
Valery Tishkov is a well-known Russian historian and anthropologist, and former Minister of Nationalities in Yeltsin′s government. This book draws on his inside knowledge of major events and extensive primary research.
Tishkov argues that ethnicity has a multifaceted role: it is the most accessible basis for political mobilization; a means of controlling power and resources in a transforming society; and therapy for the great trauma suffered by individuals and groups under previous regimes. This complexity helps explain the contradictory nature and outcomes of public ethnic policies based on a doctrine of ethno-nationalism.
