Internet Postings and Ponderings Concerning the Kazakh Nomadic Ideal

Internet Postings and Ponderings Concerning the Kazakh Nomadic Ideal

Erik Aasland
Abstract
Four hundred years ago Kazibek Bi coined an aphorism to describe the Kazakhs as a meek people in the face of the Zünghars: “Qazaq degen mal baqqan elmiz...” [kazakhs, we are herders of cattle]. Over the centuries it has served as a seminal and serviceable description. Currently, it is being posited and challenged on numerous Kazakh webpages.
