Abstract:
This book is based on long-term field research in the city of Turkistan in southern Kazakstan, the site of the shrine of Ahmet Yasawi, a key figure in early Turkic Sufism. The work has a wide lens view, describing the sacralization of land ethnic identity, including the revival of Pan-Turkic values after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
