Through careful historical and ethnographic research and extensive
use of local scholarly works, this book provides a persuasive and
careful analysis of the production of knowledge in Central Asia.
The author demonstrates that classical theories of science and
society are inadequate for understanding the science project in
Central Asia. Instead, a critical understanding of local science is
more appropriate. In the region, the professional and political
ethos of Marxism-Leninism was incorporated into the logic of
science on the periphery of the Soviet empire. This book reveals
that science, organizes and constructed by Soviet rule, was also
defined by individual efforts of local scientists. Their work to
establish themselves 'between Marx and the market' is therefore
creating new political economies of knowledge at the edge of the
scientific world system.
