Partners in progress : Turkmen intellectuals in Soviet Space, 1917-1930 -- From the ABCs to the ABCs of communism, 1930-1953 -- Speaking Soviet, 1954-1984 -- From happy socialism to independence, 1985-1996 -- Altyn Asyr Nesli : Nyýazow's Golden Generation, 1996-2006 -- The era of might and happiness, 2007-2014.

Subject: Learning to Become Turkmen examines the ways in which the iconography of everyday life--in dramatically different alphabets, multiple languages, and shifting education policies--reflects the evolution of Turkmen society in Central Asia over the past century. As Victoria Clement shows, the formal structures of the Russian imperial state did not affect Turkmen cultural formations nearly as much as Russian language and Cyrillic script. Their departure was also as transformative to Turkmen politics and society as their arrival. Complemented by extensive fieldwork, Learning to Become Turkmen is the first book in a Western language to draw on Turkmen archives, as it explores how Eurasia has been shaped historically. Revealing particular ways that Central Asians relate to the rest of the world, this study traces how Turkmen consciously used language and pedagogy to position themselves within global communities such as the Russian/Soviet Empire, the Turkic cultural continuum, and the greater Muslim world.
