The Kazakh famine of 1930–33, which claimed the lives of more than 1.5 million people, a quarter of Kazakhstan's population, has remained largely hidden from view until now. In "The Hungry Steppe," Sarah Cameron's groundbreaking work, she reveals the brutal story of this devastating crisis and its far-reaching consequences for Kazakh society.

Drawing upon a wealth of state and Communist party documents, as well as oral history and memoir accounts in Russian and Kazakh, Cameron's examination of the Kazakh famine offers a fresh perspective on the violent means employed by the Stalinist regime to create Soviet Kazakhstan. Through this crisis, a stable territory with clearly delineated boundaries was forged, becoming an integral part of the Soviet economic system. Importantly, the famine also played a pivotal role in shaping a new Kazakh national identity.

However, Cameron's findings suggest that this state-driven modernization project was uneven in its outcomes. Neither Kazakhstan nor Kazakhs themselves were fully integrated into the Soviet system in the ways that Moscow had initially envisioned. The trauma of the famine left an indelible mark on the republic, influencing its transformation into an independent nation in 1991.

By exploring the Kazakh famine, Cameron challenges several assumptions about the relationship between violence, modernization, and nation-building under Stalin. She highlights, in particular, the emergence of a distinct Kazakh national identity and the pivotal role that environmental factors played in shaping Soviet development.

Ultimately, "The Hungry Steppe" offers a compelling and nuanced perspective on one of the most heinous crimes of the Stalinist era. Cameron's work not only illuminates a long-neglected chapter of history but also provides valuable insights into the complexities of nation-building and the lasting impact of state-led modernization projects.
