Integration and Conflict Studies

Published in association with the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology, Halle/Saale

Series Editor: Gnther Schlee, Director of the Department of Integration and Conflict at the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology

The objective of the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology is to advance anthropological fieldwork and enhance theory building. Integration and conflict, the central themes of this series, are major concerns of the contemporary social sciences and of significant interest to the general public. They have also been among the main research areas of the institute since its foundation. Bringing together international experts, Integration and Conflict Studies includes both monographs and edited volumes, and offers a forum for studies that contribute to a better understanding of processes of identification and inter-group relations.

Acknowledgements

I would like to thank the many people who have helped to make this research project possible. First of all, I feel very grateful for the openness and cooperation of people in Kazakhstan who took care of my well-being and who were willing to share their ideas and life stories with me. I feel particularly indebted to the Head of the German minority centre in Taldykorgan, Vladimir Molodtsov, and to Eleonora Frisen, Irina Voronina, and Ludmilla Iterman. Their enthusiasm for my work, their warmth and hospitality, and their enormous practical and intellectual support made my research in Taldykorgan a pleasure. Furthermore, I want to thank Vladimir Kraisman and his family, Anna Fabritsius, Erina, Galina Antonovna, Bilimtay Tumenbaev, Roza Shtoppel, Natalya Shenknecht, Shinara Abdulina, Olevtin, Bibitgul, Anna Klaus, and many more people not mentioned by name for their support, hospitality, and ideas. Similarly, I want to thank Irina Erofeeva, Elvira Pak from the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung, and Cornelia Riedel from the Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung for sharing their insights with me and for providing me with information.

In Germany, I would like to thank my first supervisor Gnther Schlee, director of the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology in Halle, for his commitment and his intellectual contributions. I also feel indebted to Peter Finke, head of the Department of Social and Cultural Anthropology at the University of Zrich, who inspired my interest in Kazakhstan years ago. This research benefited substantially from his encouragement, his sharp comments and his expertise in the field. Furthermore, I would like to thank Wolfgang Holzwarth from the Oriental Studies Centre, Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg and Irene Hilgers, recently deceased, Svetlana Jacquesson, Philipp Schrder, Aksana Ismailbekova, Sophie Roche, Mateusz Laszczkowski, Joachim Grlich, John Eidson, Mathijs Pelkmans, Florian Mhlfried and many more colleagues at the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology for their contributions and critical insights, and also for their encouragement and companionship.
