Utilizing a broad range of original sources, the book suggests that the Qazaqs, as well as the Shibanid Uzbeks and Ukrainian Cossacks, came into existence as a result of the qazaq , or "ambitious brigand," activities of their founders, providing a new paradigm for understanding state formation and identity in post-Mongol Central Eurasia Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on January 14, 2016) Subject Kazakhs -- History Kazakhs -- Ethnic identity Uzbeks -- Ethnic identity Cossacks -- Ethnic identity Brigands and robbers -- Asia, Central -- History HISTORY -- Asia -- Central Asia.
