- This book uses cinema as an analytical lens to explore how the Kazakh national identity has been constructed and contested. Drawing on an analysis of Kazakh films and interviews with directors and critics involved in the Central Asian film industry, the book traces the construction of nationalism within Kazakh cinema from the country's inception as a Soviet Republic to a modern independent nation. This breadth and range of the analysis enables key narratives and tropes to be identified, ultimately demonstrating the important role of cinema as a means of dissent in contesting political power in Kazakhstan and post-Soviet space.
