Presents a political ecology of life amid overlapping environmental and political upheaval. Once the fourth largest lake in the world, Kazakhstan' s Aral Sea dried into an unrecognizable fraction of its size during a period of dramatic political change. Through the experiences of local fisheries across the rise and fall of the Soviet Union, Environment and Post-Soviet Transformation in Kazakhstan' s Aral Sea Region explores the diverse ways people in different socioeconomic contexts understand environmental change. In this book, William Wheeler offers a rigorous political ecology of life amid overlapping upheavals, attentive both to the legacies of Sovietism and the possibilities of transnationalism.
William Wheeler is Leverhulme Early Career Fellow in Social Anthropology, University of Manchester. He carried out fieldwork in the Aral Sea region of Kazakhstan in 2012-14, completing his PhD at Goldsmiths, University of London, in 2016. His current research project is closer to home, looking at experiences of enforced destitution and encounters with a hostile, disbelieving bureaucracy among those seeking asylum in UK.
