Sophie Roche’s volume Domesticating Youth: Youth Bulges and their Socio-political <\/a>Implications in Tajikistan<\/a><\/em>, published last month, is the fruit of her ethnographic labor in the post-Soviet republic of Tajikistan. During her fieldwork in the first decade of the 21st century, the country was in a state of transition following its civil war in the 1990s and subsequent population growth. In an earlier post, which can be read here<\/a>, the author wrote of her study within the country \u2014 specifically how it changed after she left. Following she returns to her story of the country \u2014 this time through photos from her fieldwork in three locations within Tajikistan: Jirgatol, Shahritus<\/strong>, and\u00a0Shahrigul<\/strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n
