- Summary:
- This work offers a unique perspective on resilience-nurturing in Central Eurasia, spanning Belarus and Ukraine in the west, South Caucasus in the south, and Tajikistan in the east. Steeped in centuries-long traditions, social memory, and culture, this vast geography suffers from rampaging poverty, climate emergency, democratic struggles, and conflict, with global consequences for the planet. Elena Korosteleva explores how Central Eurasia avidly showcases a remarkable and different type of resilience, being deeply ideational, spiritual, and always communal. She argues that the resilient subject there is never alone, unable to cope. Instead, it is always tightly woven into the community of relations, through social memory and imaginaries of the good life, support infrastructures, and affective relations.
