Stalin's Nomads by Robert Kindler
Provides a comprehensive and unsettling account of the Soviet campaign to forcefully sedentarize and collectivize the Kazakh clans. Viewing the nomadic life as unproductive, and their lands unused and untilled, Stalin and his inner circle pursued a campaign of violence and subjugation, rather than attempting any dialogue or cultural assimilation. The results were catastrophic.
Praise for the German edition - ""An outstanding contribution to the literature on the Kazakh famineIt is based on prolific research in dozens of archives and on an excellent grasp of recent Kazakh, Russian, and western scholarship."" - Slavic Review
