Locusts of Power
Some years ago, scholars rightly criticized the neglect of the Middle East in global environmental history and the neglect of environmental perspectives in history writing about the Middle East. These gaps are fortunately being filled, and Samuel Dolbee's book Locusts of Power is a highly welcome building block in this endeavor. An environmental and political history of the remaking of the Middle East in the waning years of the Ottoman Empire, th…
Being Natural and Supernatural
The history of pastoralist and agricultural societies in Central Asia is intimately interlinked with the non-human world: non-human animals shared their habitat with humans, domesticated animals were used as meat, fur, milk and fuel suppliers, drought animals, beasts of burden, mounts and wealth. Wild animals were cherished as heralds of upcoming seasonal weather change, hunted for meat, fur, prestige and the alleged medical-magical faculties of …
Roundtable studying the Anthropocene in Central Asia
The emerging and vibrant field of environmental humanities to date has not received considerable attention in Central Asia.

The Fight Against Heaven-Sent Insects
The late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries were a time of crisis and change for Central Asian societies. Land reclamation, an agricultural shift to cash crops, trophy hunting and war led to the deterioration of a fragile ecosystem and encouraged outbreaks of agricultural pests. Among the most conspicuous were locust outbreaks which troubled the Emirate of Bukhara during this period. Large swarms destroyed most of the crops, making the popu…
How to Do a Burial Right
The “correct” performance of death and burial rituals is a highly contested field in Central Asia today. Scripturalist or other reform-minded Muslims, as well as governments, each for their own reasons, often harshly criticise their co-religionists’ death-related practices for being unlawful, superstitious and wasteful. For many Central Asians, lamentations, mourning and commemoration ceremonies have an emblematic value. Even if people do not obs…
