Some Reflexions on the Selfunderstanding of the Kazakh People: A Way of Building Identity in the Modern World
This article explores the self-identity of the Kazakh
people by way of identifying the roots of self-understanding in
Kazakh culture. Unfortunately, Western methods of ethno
psychology cannot fully capture what is unique about identity in
Kazakh culture. Although Kazakhstan is the ninth largest country in
terms of geographical space, Kazakh cultural identity is not wellknown
in the West. In this article we offer an account of the national
psychological features of the Kazakh people, in order to reveal the
spiritual, mental, ethical dimensions of modern Kazakhs. These
factors play a central role in the revival of forms of identity that are
central to the Kazakh people.
