1. PUBL.- Arne Haugen, Establishment of National Republics in Soviet Central Asia

Title: The Establishment of National Republics in Soviet Central Asia
Author: Arne Haugen
Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan
Publ. year: 2003
ISBN: 1403915717
Type: Hardback book
Extent: 280 pages
Price: £ 50.00

The book analyzes the "national delimitation", the establishment of
national soviet republics in Central Asia in the 1920s. Basing himself
primarily on Communist Party archive material, the author argues that the
predominant interpretation of this strategy as an act of divide-and-rule
cannot be sustained. Rather, in the view of Soviet authorities, national
identity emerged as a solution to a variety of problems and challenges
regarding Soviet state building. Moreover, an important line of argument is
that the delimitation should not be seen from the perspective of Moscow
alone. The book discusses the role of Central Asian communists in the
delimitation, and argues that Central Asian political actors influenced the
process considerably. As a consequence, the new territorial-political
organization of Central Asia bore a considerable degree of historical
continuity.

2. PUBL.- Eurasia: People and Myths, Edited by Sergei Panarin

Eurasia: Peoples and Myths, Moscow, Natalis Press
Compiled and edited by Sergei Panarin

Language:  Russian

Publisher: Natalis Press
ISBN: 5-8062-0071-X
Pub Year: 2003
Hardback Book
Price: $30
Extent: 607 pages (Dimensions:  205x143 mm)
Illustrations: 18 photos

This book is composed of the articles that were published during 1996-2002 
in the independent scientific journal Acta Eurasica.

Eurasia is considered as a space, which is approximately equal to the 
territory of the Soviet Union.

The parts of the book illustrate three variants of obvious and unobvious, 
perceived and unperceived meetings of the people and myths: at different 
epochs - at concrete time and place; in the specific light of relations 
between people and the state; in the process of myth creation.

The book is intended for historians, ethnologists, social anthropologists, 
sociologists, and political scientists. It will be useful for humanitarian 
university teachers and students.

3. PUBL.- Ron Sela, Ritual and Authority in Central Asia

Newly Published:

Ritual and Authority in Central Asia
Ron Sela
Papers On Inner Asia, No. 37
Subseries: Central Asia, $6.50

The perceived sources of authority and the sanction of political and 
religious behavior in eighteenth and nineteenth-century Central Asia stand 
at the core of this essay. The work examines the relationships between 
ritual and power in Central Asia by following Central Asian authors' 
explanations of the origins and authenticity of the khan's inauguration 
ceremony.

Special attention is given to the eighteenth century and the rise of the 
so-called Tribal Dynasties by including the edition and translation of one 
chapter of the Tuhfat al-khani, an eighteenth-century chronicle, which 
details the inauguration of Muhammad Rahim Khan Manghit. The translation of 
the work serves the basis for analysis of the ritual, from its perceived 
origins in the Mongol Empire, through its practice under Timurid rule, and 
its developments from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century under the 
Shibanids and Ashtarkhanids, and under the tribal dynasties of Bukhara and 
Khiva, including notes on the potential Qazaq influence on the ceremony.

7. PUBL.- Troubled Waters: The Geopolitics of the Caspian Region

Troubled Waters: The Geopolitics of the Caspian Region

R. Hrair Dekmejian and Hovann H. Simonian

This up-to-date book presents a comprehensive analysis of the political and 
economic dynamics of the Caspian basin. It examines the area's historical 
evolution and the diverse issues and players in what has become a modern 
variant of the "Great Game" of the nineteenth century. Following a 
historical overview of the region and its oil industries, the book analyzes 
the domestic politics and the foreign policies of the five states bordering 
the Caspian--Russia, Iran, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan. It 
further identifies all the external interests involved in the Caspian's 
political rivalries and control over its resources and territory, including 
the US, the European powers, various nationalist movements, Islamic 
militants, multinational corporations, NGOs and international financial 
institutions. These features, coupled with the political and economic risk 
assessment of the Caspian basin, makes this a unique contribution to our 
understanding of a region which is positioned at the juncture of Russia, 
China, South Asia and the Middle East.

"BOOK ANNOUNCEMENT: CHOLERA BLUES

"Cholera Blues" is the title of the first ever translation of the novel
"Agir Roman" the contemprary Turkish writer Metin Kacan.  The novel tells
about a young boy who grows up in one of Istanbul's lower-class quarters
(derisively called 'Cholera' in the novel) in the 1960s. At the same time,
the novel sketches the degradation and depravation of a once cosmopolitic
and culturally pluralistic part of Istanbul, marked by the appearance of a
new generation of gangsters called 'the crayfish', rising fundamentalist
tendencies and growing violence.  Therefore the novel is not only about
the young hero, 'Cholera' and Istanbul, but about the recent history of
Turkey in general.  Nonwithstanding its English title, the translation is
into German. The language of both the original and translation is highly
loaded with slang words, and the writer's humourous, often sarcastic use
of the Turkish language is definitely an asset to the reader. Ever since
it first appeared in 1990, 'Agir Roman' has known a tremendous success in
Turkey and has been made into a major movie and, recently, even an opera. 

The book (171 pp.) is available for 15 Euros in Germany from 
Dagyeli Publishers in Berin or from booksellers.  It is also
available in the German bookstore in Istanbul, near Tünel.
