This book is a comprehensive ethnography of everyday belonging among Russian speakers in Estonia and Kazakhstan.
This book examines the Russophone communities in peripheral cities adjacent to the Russian borders in Estonia and Kazakhstan. The research adopts a cross-disciplinary, space-sensitive approach that focuses comparatively on individual memories, narratives, and performances. Based on multi-layered ethnographic examples, this book reconstructs belonging as a complex dialectical relationship between ‘inclusion’ and ‘exclusion.’ This relationship, it is argued, manifests itself through a continuous spiral of boundary construction, appropriation, and transgression among different versions of Estonianness and Kazakhness, Europeanness and Cosmopolitanness, as well as Russianness.
