by Adrienne Lynn Edgar (Author)
Examines the Soviet effort in the 1920's and 1930's to create a modern, socialist nation in the Central Asian Republic of Turkmenistan. This book argues that the focus on the Soviet state as a 'maker of nations' overlooks another vital factor in Turkmen nationhood: the complex interaction between Soviet policies and indigenous notions of identity.
