This book explores how to locate the sources which influenced the
political, social, and ideological stance of a famous Turkestani
Jadid thinker, writer, journalist and scholar, 'Abdurra'uf Fitrat
(1886-1938), thus also putting in perspective some overall
intellectual trends in Turkestan, especially in Bukhara in the
early 1910s. Based on Fitrat's early publications the book
discusses what intellectual milieu it was that shaped his worldview
in the early 1910s, a worldview that could be designated as a first
attempt at "freedom and sovereignty through Islam". A thorough
review of these publications also brings greater clarity to the
issue of Fitrat's ethnical identity, which sheds light on how he
related to the worldwide community of Muslims and how he positioned
himself towards political unity of the Muslim World. Furthermore,
by scrutinizing Fitrat's intellectual legacy of 1910-1915, this
book highlights some of the origins of Jadidism in Turkestan and
places Turkestani Jadidism in the context of worldwide Muslim
reformism at the turn of the 20th century.
