Force of Custom, The: Law and the Ordering of Everyday Life in Kyrgyzstan - Central Eurasia in Context
Judith Beyer
By interweaving case studies on kinship, legal negotiations, festive events, mourning rituals, and political and business dealings, Beyer shows how salt is the binding element in rural Kyrgyz social life and how it is used to explain and negotiate moral behavior and to postulate communal identity.
