In 1906, a group of artists and intellectuals reinterpreted the
tales of the Middle Eastern trickster Nasreddin to construct a
progressive anti-colonial discourse with a strong emphasis on
social, political and religious reform. Using folklore, visual art
and satire, their periodical Moll? Nasreddin which had full-page
lithographic cartoons in colour, reached tens of thousands of
people across the Muslim world, from Iran and Turkey, to India and
Egypt, impacting the thinking of a generation. The founder of the
periodical was Jalil Mamedqolizadeh, an Azerbaijani educator and
playwright. As a transnational and social democratic publication,
Moll? Nasreddin saw itself as a mouthpiece for other persecuted
Muslim populations and colonised peoples around the globe. This
book looks at the milieu in which the periodical was born, the
manner through which the journal recast the trickster trope for its
audience, and the influence of European graphic artists on its
cartoons and illustrations.
