Bishkek Boys
Berghahn Books (Verlag)
978-1-78533-726-0 (ISBN)
In this pioneering ethnographic study of identity, author Philipp Schroder explores integration and urban change in Kyrgyzstan's capital Bishkek from the vantage point of young men living in the neighbourhood. Touching on topics including authority, violence, social and imaginary geographies, interethnic relations, and competing notions of belonging to the city, Bishkek Boys offers unique insights into how post-Socialist economic liberalization, rural-urban migration and ethnic nationalism have reshaped social relations among the boys who come of age in this Central Asian urban environment.
Philipp Schroder is a postdoctoral researcher and lecturer at the Humboldt-Universitat zu Berlin, Institute for Asian and African Studies. Until 2011 he was a member of the research group 'Integration and Conflict' at the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology in Halle/Saale and received his PhD from the Martin-Luther-Universitat Halle-Wittenberg.
