Centered on the most recent Russo-Chechen wars of 1994–1996 and 1999–2009, it poses an intriguing question: What motivates people to create families in times of war? Marat Iliyasov, a Chechen, delves into a broader historical context, analyzing pivotal events such as the Russian conquest of the Caucasus in the 19th century and the forced deportation of the entire Nokhchi nation in 1944. These events, along with the recent wars, have played a crucial role in shaping the Nokhchi collective identity.\u003cbr\u003eIliyasov contends that this collective identity is a key factor influencing decisions about family size. \u003ci\u003eReproducing Resistance \u003c\/i\u003esuggests that the high fertility rates among groups who perceive their survival to be under threat can serve as an indicator of a community preparing for potential future conflict. This demographic dynamic is reinforced by numerous interviews that the author conducted with Nokhchi natives, offering invaluable insight into the lived experiences and perspectives of the people.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing Plc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55600802988376,"sku":"9781666956955","price":102.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781666956955_9621c952-78cf-4d24-9469-b2b78cb18606.jpg?v=1777989638","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/reproducing-resistance","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
