“…L'histoire des Kazakhs est néanmoins marquée par de profondes ruptures. Leur sédentarisation est dépeinte comme un processus d'abord progressif puis s'accélérant et finalement extrêmement brutal, liée dans un premier temps à la colonisation des steppes kazakhes par des paysans russes, entraînant une pression foncière et la réduction des parcours pastoraux puis, dans un deuxième temps, à la collectivisation soviétique, causant la décimation du bétail et une terrible famine (Demko 1969: 28, 189-192 ;Olcott 1995 ;Ohayon 2006 ;Ohayon 2014). Cependant le tableau de cette évolution est biaisé par le fait que la situation du pastoralisme nomade kazakh antérieure au XIX e siècle est mal connue.…”

This is a short version in English, published in Nomadic peoples (20), p.176-199, 2016, The long version of this article with citations, more historical details and a fuller bibliography is available online in French.International audiencePresenting themselves as the heirs of the steppe nomads, the Kazakhs have, since the independence of Kazakhstan in 1991, emphasised their nomadic inheritance as the basis of their identity. Nonetheless, for all that they reclaim this heritage, they remain influenced by negative representations of nomads, and, having difficulty in combining pastoralism and modernity, they proclaim themselves at the same time founders of cities, inventors of writing and creators of state, in a quest for ancestral grounding which they share with other Central Asian republics. In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, debates upon sedentarisation showed all the ambivalence of the Russian and Kazakh positions on the topic. Following independence, the 'patrimonialisation' of nomadism focused upon some ancillary emblems, such as the yurt or the horse, neglecting the essential feature, residential mobility, and, in ignoring actual nomadic practices, it definitively relegated nomadism to the past. Ethnography, conceived as a historical discipline consistently built on an evolutionist paradigm, described Kazakh pastoralism as relevant to a temporal elsewhere (before the 1917 revolution) or a geographical one (beyond the borders of Kazakhstan), and it showed little interest in the actual realities of mobile pastoralism, despite it being practiced by a small part of the population
