Muslim Industrial Workers in California
Scholarship on the cultural history of Russia’s Tatar community has generally focused on the contribution of social and religious elites to the main currents that are generally assumed to define this history, including Islamic reformism and modernism. This paper examines the accounts of Tatar industrial workers who traveled as far, or even further, than their elite compatriots,—to California—and left us accounts of their observations though the l…

Central Asia
In this synthesis of modern Central Asia history, Adeeb Khalid offers readers an overview of the political and social history of the region, in large measure based on English-language literature on the region. Khalid forthrightly declares that his is a history of Central Asians’ interaction with imperial systems and outside social, political and economic forces. For that reason, he begins his treatment with the Russian and Chinese imperial conque…
Companions of the Prophet as Anti-Colonial Fighters
Tales about the caliph ʿAlī have circulated as popular entertainment throughout the Islamic world since the medieval era. While their meaning to their audiences has varied, on the frontiers of Islam, including in Siberia and the Kazakh steppe, the battles of ʿAlī and other companions of the Prophet against infidels took on special meaning. Among Kazakh nomads under Russian rule, these tales gained broad popularity in the second half of the ninete…
Turkmen Literacy and Turkmen Identity before the Soviets
Despite assertions of almost universal illiteracy among pre-Revolutionary Turkmens, an examination of the widely popular maktab primer, the Ravnaq al-Islām , shows that literacy among Turkmens before 1917 was substantially higher than previously thought. Additionally, the work and legends surrounding it show us Turkmen maktab texts contributed to a sense of supra-tribal Turkmen identity, which has generally been discounted or ignored in previous …

Sharīʿa Debates and Fatwas among Nomads in Northern Kazakhstan, 1850–1931
Legal debates among Kazakh nomads and on the Kazakh steppe more broadly have, for the most part, addressed the effects of Russian colonial policy on the administration of law among these nomads. The official and scholarly Russian fixation on Kazakh customary law, based largely on a tendentious categorization of Kazakh Muslims as quasi-shamanists, resulted in policies designed to separate Islamic law ( sharīʿa ) from customary law (ʿ ādat ), and t…
Muslim Cultural Decline in Imperial Russia
Since the first three decades of the twentieth century, the Islamic history of the Volga-Ural region has been based, for the most part, on a modernist narrative in which the dominant frame of reference for understanding these Muslim communities has been an ethno-national framework, focused, above all, on the role of the Tatar bourgeoisie in promoting Islamic reformism and Islamic modernism. The main sources for this framework have been the politi…
Bukhara and the Muslims of Russia
In Bukhara and the Muslims of Russia Allen Frank examines the relationship of Tatars and Bashkirs with the city of Bukhara during the Russian Imperial era. For Muslims in Russia Bukhara's prestige was manifested in genealogies, fashion, and in the elevated legal status of Bukharan communities in Russia. The historical relationship of Russia's Muslim communities with Bukhara was founded above all on Bukhara's reputation as a holy city of Islam, an…
The western steppe
Edigü and the final disintegration of the Golden Horde Challenges from Chinggisid rivals to the Manghït amir Edigü following the death of Toqtamïsh around 1406, led to the final disintegration of Chinggisid political unity in the western steppe. Henceforth political power would be centred in specific regions ( yurts ) that would become the foundations of Chinggisid successor states of the Golden Horde. These states emerged primarily in the first …
The Qazaqs and Russia
The Qazaq Khanate in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries The formation of the Qazaq Khanate and the emergence of a Qazaq ethnic and political identity at the beginning of the sixteenth century were centred in the Semirech'e (or Zhetisu) region in what is today Eastern Kazakhstan (see Chapter 13 above). During the following two centuries a politically unified Qazaq Khanate ruled by the descendants of Baraq Khan and his sons Kirāy and Jarïbek g…
The Cambridge History of Inner Asia
This volume centres on the history and legacy of the Mongol World Empire founded by Chinggis Khan and his sons, including its impact upon the modern world. An international team of scholars examines the political and cultural history of the Mongol empire, its Chinggisid successor states, and the non-Chinggisid dynasties that came to dominate Inner Asia in its wake. Geographically, it focuses on the continental region from East Asia to Eastern Eur…
Search Scripture Well
The Jewish Bible commentary was created in the Islamic East during the tenth century by scholars seeking a rational, systematic approach to Scripture. Among its earliest champions were the Karaites, scripturalists who denied rabbinic authority. Seeking to restore Judaism to its biblical roots, they wrote numerous commentaries in Judeo-Arabic. Through the investigation of key topics, this book traces the contours of early Karaite biblical exegesis…

Chronologically his work extends from the eighteenth century down to the current period, resulting an highly informed and instructive examination of North Caucasus legal culture. His sources include Russian archival do…

This study is based on a Turkic manuscript history entitled the Tavarikh-i Alti Ata, compiled in 1910. It examines the mosques, madrasas, imams, mu'adhdhins, and Sufis of a single district and in adjoining regions of the Kazakh steppe, areas that were inhabited by several Muslim communities, including Tatar peasants and …
