Research Abstract |
Religious revitalization, especially revitalization of Islam, was widely observed in Central Asian societies after the change and collapse of socialist regimes. It is noteworthy that recent Islamic revitalization does not involve an exact revival of pre-Soviet religious practices, but is a phenomenon closely related to the rapid increase in border-crossing activities in recent years. This study analyses the connections based on Islam between Central Asia and the Middle East, as well as the Kazakh majority in Kazakhstan and the Kazakh minority in neighboring countries, such as Mongolia and China. The results of the study reveal that Kazakhs reinterpret local religious practices in various ways within the context of Islam, and try to assert the legitimacy of their beliefs in the Islamic world in the post-socialist, globalized era.
