Edited by Chi Zhang & Gulnara Dadabayeva, this volume centres regional voices, featuring primarily scholars from Kazakhstan and China.

Using fieldwork on museum exhibitions in Almaty, I show how Kazakhstan frames the Silk Road through transnationalism, hospitality, and Islamic modernity - often diverging from China’s vision. This study highlights how narratives are not just tools of statecraft but sites of negotiation.

The Implications of Ethnic Politics in Post-Socialist States for China This book explores the significance of the breakup of the Soviet Union and other socialist states such as Yugoslavia

🚨 New publication! 🚨

Historical narratives are processual - constantly reshaped through contestation and reinterpretation. My latest chapter examines China’s Silk Road narratives and their interaction with Kazakh historical memory.
