Conceptually very rich and broad . . . Will outlive the continuous changes that are taking place in the territory of the former Soviet Union.'A. Reza Sheikholeslami, Oriental Institute, St. Antony's College, Oxford University'A multidisciplinary as well as a multicultural approach to the study of Central Asia. . . . An informative account of history, politics, religions, and the social complexities of the Central Asian societies.'Manochehr Dorraj, Texas Christian UniversityLeading Western, Russian, and Central Asian scholars examine here the domestic and international dynamics of Muslim Central Asia and the Caucasus. They address the two circumstances that continue to affect the Muslim states of the former Soviet Union: the enduring impact of the Soviet experience on ethnosocial and political life, and the prospects for the recovery of their own identities now that the Soviet system has collapsed. The authors of these essays suggest that the symbiosis of these two forces will continue to characterize political and social developments in Central Asia and the Caucasus for years to come.ContentsThe Emerging Muslim States of Central Asia and the Caucasus, by Mohiaddin MesbahiPart 1.
