Roche, Sophie.
Domesticating youth : youth bulges and its socio-political implications in Tajikistan / Sophie Roche. - New York : Berghahn, 2014. - 1 online resource (xix, 271 pages) : illustrations - Integration and conflict studies ; volume 8 . - Integration and conflict studies ; v. 8. .
Includes bibliographical references (pages 241-263) and index.
Foreword : the construction of life phases and some facts of life -- Placing the field sites in their context : a demographic history -- Why didn't you take a side? : the emergence of youth categories, institutions and groups -- Siblings are as different as the five fingers of a hand? : developmental cycle of domestic groups and siblingship -- The gift of youth? : workers, religious actors and migrants -- The only thing in life that makes you feel like a king? : marriage as an indicator of social and demographic changes -- Youth are our future? : the state's youth categories challenged by youth -- Conclusion : the dynamics of youth bulge as a question of domestication.
Most of the Muslim societies of the world have entered a demographic transition from high to low fertility, and this process is accompanied by an increase in youth vis-à-vis other age groups. Political scientists and historians have debated whether such a "youth bulge" increases the potential for conflict or whether it represents a chance to accumulate wealth and push forward social and technological developments. This book introduces the discussion about youth bulge into social anthropology. Tajikistan, a post-Soviet country that experienced civil war in the 1990s, is in the middle of such a demographic transition. Sophie Roche develops a social anthropological approach to analyze demographic and political dynamics, and suggests a new way of thinking about social change in youth bulge societies.
