The central argument of this book is that the half-century of
Russian rule in Central Asia was shaped by traditions of
authoritarian rule, by Russian national interests, and by a civic
reform agenda that brought to Turkestan the principles that
informed Alexander II's reform policies. This civilizing mission
sought to lay the foundations for a rejuvenated, 'modern' empire,
unified by imperial citizenship, patriotism, and a shared secular
culture. Evidence for Brower's thesis is drawn from major archives
in Uzbekistan and Russia. Use of these records permitted him to
develop the first interpretation, either in Russian or Western
literature, of Russian colonialism in Turkestan that draws on the
extensive archival evidence of policy-making, imperial objectives,
and relations with subject peoples.
