Turkestan’s Place in the Russian Empire
This article examines Turkestan’s position in the tsarist empire to argue that it was a distinctly colonial territory, directly comparable to the overseas colonies of other contemporary empires and less like other older parts of the Russian empire. This article locates Turkestan’s coloniality not in formal structures, but in its immense distance — moral, political and legal — from the metropolis and the imperial authorities’ use of Islam as a mar…
A New Age of Empires
Claims that countries like China, Russia, Turkey, and Iran are driven by imperial legacies to engage in aggressive foreign policies may oversell the influence of bygone empires and uniquely Eurasian mentalities on present-day geopolitics
Danielle Ross. Tatar Empire: Kazan’s Muslims and the Making of Imperial Russia
In this impressively researched book, Danielle Ross wants to transform our understanding of both Tatar history and that of the Russian empire in the east. With her account spanning two and a half centuries, Ross forces us to think of the Tatars not as victims of the Russian empire but as its accomplices and agents. Indeed, the Tatars’ place in the empire shaped the transformations in religion and culture in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.…
Islam in Central Asia 30 years after independence: Debates, controversies and the critique of a critique
The study of Islam in Central Asia has undergone enormous transformations in the 30 years since the Soviet era came to an end. Over the last three decades, a sizable corpus of literature on Islam in Central Asia has appeared across several disciplines. There has also been considerable debate over methods and approach: What questions are important to ask? Which kinds of sources are the most significant? Which voices from among Central Asians are t…

Central Asia: A New History from the Imperial Conquests to the Present
A major history of Central Asia and how it has been shaped by modern world eventsCentral Asia is often seen as a remote and inaccessible land on the peripheries of modern history. Encompassing Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, and the Xinjiang province of China, it in fact stands at the crossroads of world events. Adeeb Khalid provides the first comprehensive history of Central Asia from the mid-eighteenth century to t…

Nomads and Soviet Rule: Central Asia under Lenin and Stalin
The Russian Revolution and the collapse of the Russian Empire that ensued from it led to the establishment of Soviet rule in the colonial peripheries of the Empire (its ‘borderlands’), a vast swath
Druz’ia ponevole: Rossiia i bukharskie evrei, 1800–1917 [Reluctant Friends: Russia and Bukharan Jews, 1800–1917]
While the Russian conquest of Central Asia in the 1860s doubled the size of the Muslim population of the empire, it also brought into the empire a small community of indigenous Persian-speaking Jew
Researching Islam, Security, and the State in Central Asia: A Round Table Discussion
As researchers in Central Asian Studies, we discuss the different perspectives our methodological approaches provide to understanding the content and context of Islam, security, and the state in the region. We acknowledge the role of bias in creating narratives that dominate regional and international discourse and question mono-causal explanations of Islamic practice and the roots of radicalism. As such, we offer insights into the challenges and…

Making Uzbekistan: Nation, Empire, and Revolution in the Early USSR
In Making Uzbekistan, Adeeb Khalid chronicles the tumultuous history of Central Asia in the age of the Russian Revolution. Traumatic upheavals--war, economic collapse, famine--transformed local society and brought new groups to positions of power and authority and Central Asia, just as the new revolutionary state began to create institutions that redefined the nature of power in the region. This was also a time of hope and ambition and which loca…
Islam after Communism: Religion and Politics in Central Asia
How do Muslims relate to Islam in societies that experienced seventy years of Soviet rule? How did the utopian Bolshevik project of remaking the world by extirpating religion from it affect Central Asia? Adeeb Khalid combines insights from the study of both Islam and Soviet history to answer these questions. Arguing that the sustained Soviet assault on Islam destroyed patterns of Islamic learning and thoroughly de-Islamized public life, Khalid de…
Ulama and the State in Uzbekistan
The fundamental fact about the religious landscape in post-Soviet Uzbekistan (and in post-Soviet Muslim societies in general) is the lasting impact of the Soviet legacy. The anti-religious campaigns of 1927–1941 in the USSR caused massive destruction to the infrastructure of Islamic learning and marginalized the authority of the ulama , subordinating them to those of both the state and the nation to an extent arguably not seen anywhere else in th…
Cloé Drieu, Fictions nationales, Cinéma, empire et nation en Ouzbékistan (1919‐1937)
This fine book by Cloé Drieu is a major contribution to the history of Soviet Central Asia and Soviet history in general. It uses the history of film in Uzbekistan to investigate several crucial features of the multinational Soviet state : the interplay between the centre and the periphery, between “internationalism” and nationalism, or colonialism and revolution. Drieu’s book is a work of cultural history located in the overlapping and intertwin…
XX asr o'zbek adabiyotining Amerikada o'rganilishi [The study of twentieth-century Uzbek literature in America]

The Bukharan People's Soviet Republic in the Light of Muslim Sources
The short-lived People's Soviet Republic of Bukhara is usually dismissed as a Soviet puppet state that served merely as a prelude to the Sovietization of the former protectorate. Recourse to the thick documentation in the Arabic script (mostly in Uzbek, some in Persian/Tajik) left behind by the republic and now available in the central state archives of Uzbekistan allows a much more complex picture of the republic to emerge. This article presents…

Backwardness and the Quest for Civilization: Early Soviet Central Asia in Comparative Perspective
Much recent scholarship has seen Soviet Central Asia as directly comparable to the overseas colonies of modern European states. In this article, Adeeb Khalid takes issue with this trend. European colonial rule, he argues, was predicated on the perpetuation of difference, while the Soviets sought to conquer it. Central Asia was indeed subject to colonial rule in the tsarist period, but its transformation in the early Soviet period was the work, in…

A Secular Islam: Nation, State, and Religion in Uzbekistan
The collapse of the Soviet Union a decade ago engendered both hope and fear about the future of Islam in Uzbekistan (and Central Asia in general). Many Muslims from other countries hoped that, freed from the constraints of the Soviet regime, Uzbeks and other Central Asians would rediscover their religious traditions and rejoin the broader Muslim world. 1 Other observers feared that Islam would emerge as a political force and threaten the security…

Tashkent 1917: Muslim Politics in Revolutionary Turkestan
The complex politics that convulsed Turkestan in 1917 remains one of the least understood aspects of the Russian revolution. A structure of dual power emerged along the familiar liberal-radical divide, but in Turkestan both sides represented the small European (largely Russian) settler population and both were united in an attempt to exclude the indigenous population from participation in the revolutionary process. Parallel political movements de…

Printing, Publishing, and Reform in Tsarist Central Asia
Scholars have long noted, often with disapproval, the tardiness of the introduction of printing to the Muslim world, but the consequences of that introduction on the production, reproduction, and transmission of knowledge in Muslim societies are only now beginning to be understood. For instance, the numerous movements for modernist reform that arose in the Muslim world in the 19th century were all propagated through the medium of print, yet the c…

The Residential Quarter in Bukhara before the Revolution (The Work of O. A. Sukhareva)
Soviet Scholarship on Islamic studies exists in almost hermetic isolation from its Western counterpart for both linguistic and methodological reasons. Soviet scholarship is concerned with a different set of questions that emerge from Soviet Marxism, rarely tackling the conceptual questions formulated in the West. Nevertheless, Soviet scholarship is very strong on descriptive detail which could, if properly utilized, enrich Western debate. Unfortu…
