So, there may be good reason to be skeptical of the West’s brand of education. After that was the Soviet propaganda of collectivization that destroyed Kazakh families. They are eager to re-discover their roots before the tsarist government of Russia came to Central Asia (although they helped them from being annihilated by another foe). I see at least three problems and I know of many more which should to be eradicated from our university.įirst, we have a few liberal, left wing liberals from the West who are promulgating their anti-God, anti-religion, pluralism, multiculturalism, diversity dogma to the Kazakh people who have had enough of the tripe handed to them. Add to that their needing to be competent in using the computer to access information besides the computer games they love to play. Therefore, some of our dear Kazakh students who are learning their own Kazakh language along with knowing Russian need to know English as well. (There exist many different Englishes in the world.) Supposedly we have a western brand of education and the classes are to be taught in English. Irregardless, without the help of President Nazarbayev, we still have an “elephant in the room!!!” What we have at our institution of “higher learning” in Kazakhstan is an anomoly and does not fit in the same framework with the rest of the universities in this country and especially with the Ministry of Education.

But no one seemed to know for sure, so I tried not to make a big deal out of it. A general practitioner surmised that it was stress related and gave me samples of an antianxiety medication. A nurse at the college health center thought it might be eczema and recommended a cream. “It might be a parasite you picked up while studying abroad,” a Chinese herbalist told me before sending me off with foul-smelling supplements and bitter teas. Bloody harbingers of a mounting struggle taking place inside of me. A scree of oozing nicks, thick scabs, and fresh scars soon marred my legs as if they had been beaten with rose thistles. I itched while dancing with friends on the beer-slicked floors of basement taprooms. I itched under the big wooden desk of my library carrel. I itched during my part-time job at the campus film lab. Without realizing what I was doing, my hand began meandering down my legs, my nails raking my jeans in search of relief, before burrowing under the hem to sink directly into flesh. I tried to resist scratching, but the itch was relentless, spreading across the surface of my skin like a thousand invisible mosquito bites. A maddening, claw-at-your-skin, keep-you-up-at-night itch that surfaced during my senior year of college, first on the tops of my feet and then moving up my calves and thighs. Not a metaphorical itch to travel the world or some quarter-life crisis, but a literal, physical itch. Agent: Melissa Danaczko, Stuart Krichevsky Literary.
