This intensively researched urban study dissects Russian
Imperial and early Soviet rule in Islamic Central Asia from the
diverse viewpoints of tsarist functionaries, Soviet bureaucrats,
Russian workers, and lower-class women as well as Muslim notables
and Central Asian traders. Jeff Sahadeo s stimulating analysis
reveals how political, social, cultural, and demographic shifts
altered the nature of this colonial community from the tsarist
conquest of 1865 to 1923, when Bolshevik authorities subjected the
region to strict Soviet rule. In addition to placing the building
of empire in Tashkent within a broader European context, Sahadeo's
account makes an important contribution to understanding the
cultural impact of empire on Russia's periphery."
