Krista A. Goff. Nested Nationalism
In Nested Nationalisms, Krista Goff traces the “recurring, enduring, and symbiotic” relationship among nationalisms in Soviet Azerbaijan, where elites from the Republic’s Azerbaijani majority pressured Lezgin, Talysh, and Georgian-Ingiloi minorities to assimilate (6). Goff uses “nested” as a metaphor to show the tiers of national belonging within the Soviet system, where titular majorities of the fourteen national republics were minorities in rel…
A Fragmented Family Story
This article combines oral histories with documents from family and public archives to re-assemble fragments of a Tashkent family history, and it uses Bourdieu’s theses on social reproduction and cultural capital to analyze the ways that this family repurposed its status-seeking decisions in changed political circumstances. Beginning with the author’s effort to document an ancestor who served as a shine-keeper, the article explores what became of…

Under Solomon’s throne
Winner of the 2014 Central Eurasian Studies Society Book Award in the Social Sciences. Under Solomon s Throne provides a rare ground-level analysis of post-Soviet Central Asia s social and political paradoxes by focusing on an urban ethnic community: the Uzbeks in Osh, Kyrgyzstan, who have maintained visions of societal renewal throughout economic upheaval, political discrimination, and massive violence.Morgan Liu illuminates many of the challeng…
Broken Ties in the Ferghana Valley
An anthropologist with long ties to a border town in Central Asia watched as nationalist sentiment turned what had been an informal boundary into a hard divide between erstwhile neighbors
Recollections of collectivization in Uzbekistan
Collectivization of agriculture in Uzbekistan demanded the efforts of many local agitators who called on Uzbek dehqons to join kolkhozes, and who stimulated a local version of class warfare. In oral history interviews with those who experienced mass collectivization’s first moments, we find both the brutality of change imposed from above and a social transformation led by local Uzbek activists. We argue that Uzbek agitators allowed many dehqons t…
Collectivization and social engineering

The Soviet Legacy and Women's Rights in Central Asia
While Soviet efforts to promote gender equality are not openly celebrated, the idea planted in the region during that now-disdained era—that men and women should be equal under the law—is still holding fast
Debating Sharia
In 1917, a year of revolutionary change in the Russian Empire, Muslim women organized a congress in order to propose and debate resolutions that they hoped would be incorporated into Russia’s new constitution. Transcripts from the April Congress in Kazan provide evidence that participants sharply disagreed over whether polygyny should be permitted, limited, or abrogated, and they used these debates to articulate their own understandings of rights…

Review: M. Nazif ShahraniIf one wants to write an anthropology of Islam, one should begin, as Muslims do, from the concept of discursive tradition that includes and relates itself to the founding texts of the Qur'an and the Hadith.

Where Did the Mullahs Go? Oral Histories from Rural Uzbekistan
Oral histories with elderly collective farmers in Uzbekistan, who recalled the establishment of their collective farms in the 1930s, depict the closing of village mosques and the disappearance of many rural mullahs. Anti-religious policies focused on Islamic institutions and paid functionaries; however, mullahs were left in many villages, and they continued to lead Islamic practices clandestinely. Religious leaders who had never been closely tied…
Gender Ideals and Income Realities
In Uzbekistan, the 1990s brought significant and sometimes drastic change in employment and income security and in earning opportunities. In focus groups conducted in 1996 and 1997 with citizens of Uzbekistan from various ethnicities, regions and social classes, it was within the context of discussion of work and income that the idea of “transition” came through most clearly: life was once normal, and will be normal again sometime, but meanwhile …
