This book provides a comparative history of Islamic education in
the Soviet Union and the post-Soviet countries. Case studies on
Ukraine, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan and on
two regions of the Russian Federation, Tatarstan and Daghestan,
highlight the importance which Muslim communities in all parts of
the Soviet Union attached to their formal and informal institutions
of Islamic instruction. New light is shed on the continuity of
pre-revolutionary educational traditions - including Jadidist
ethics and teaching methods - throughout the New Economic Policy
period (1921-1928), on Muslim efforts to maintain their religious
schools under Stalinist repression, and on the complete
institutional breakdown of the Islamic educational sector by the
late 1930s. A second focus of the book is on the remarkable boom of
Islamic education in the post-Soviet republics after 1991. Contrary
to general assumptions on the overwhelming influence of foreign
missionary activities on this revival, this study stresses the
primary role of the Soviet Islamic institutions which were
developed during and after the Second World War, and of the
persisting regional and even international networks of Islamic
teachers and muftis. Throughout the book, special attention is paid
to the specific regional traditions of Islamic learning and to the
teachers' affiliations with Islamic legal schools and Sufi
brotherhoods. The book thus testifies to the astounding dynamics of
Islamic education under rapidly changing and oftentimes extremely
harsh political conditions.
