Tajikistan is a key state in Central Asia, and will become crucial
to the regional power balance as it transitions away from Soviet
government systems and responds to the rise of Chinese financial
power alongside the continuing presence of Russian military might
and instability in neighboring Afghanistan. This book demonstrates
how the Soviet atheist legacy continues to influence current state
structures, the regulation of religion, the formation of national
identities, and the understanding of the place of religion in
society. Helene Thibault focuses on the differences between secular
nationhood in Tajikistan, and an increasingly popular and
influential Muslim identity. Featuring extensive and original
primary-source material, including 12 months of ethnographic
fieldwork, Thibault demonstrates the profound and lasting influence
of Soviet power structures and attitudes, and how secular and
religious identities clash in a context of tightening
authoritarianism.
