  • A History of Ottoman Poetry
    351 went and told his story to Mu'eyycd-zadc the Anatolian Qazi'^Asker, who was the very antithesis of the Rumclian, being, as we have more than once seen, the ever-ready friend and patron of talent and ability. This good and learned man bade the would-be principal go and formally accept the cadiship proposed by his colleague, and leave the rest to him. Kemal-Pasha-zade did as he was told. And so on the morrow Hajji-Hasan-zade presented to Sultan Bayezid the young man's request and suggested that it should be granted. But Mu^eyyed-zade, who was present, interposed, saying that the applicant was one of the most gifted and promising young men of the day, and that it would be a grievous misfortune if he were lost in a cadiship, the more especially as the Tashliq principalship, which would give him an excellent opening, was just then vacant; and he prayed the Sultan to confer this on him. Hajji-Hasan-zade had not the effrontery to oppose his colleague's request, which was accordingly granted. Mu'eyyed-zade's kindly offices by no means ended here; he frequently brought his protege under the notice of the Sultan, and succeeded in obtaining for him grants of money as well as other favours. It was he too who proposed to Bayezid that Kemal-Pasha-zade should be commissioned to write the history of the Ottoman power in Turkish, as it was desirable to have the story in the national language, Monla Idris's work on the subject being in Persian.

  • Bukharan and Russian Monarchies in the Inter-Revolutionary Period
    The Last Days of the Emir: Bukharan and Russian Monarchies in the Inter-Revolutionary Period By Casey E. Smith A Study Presented to the Faculty of Wheaton College In Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for Graduation with Departmental Honors In Russian Studies Norton, Massachusetts May 10, 2020 2 Introduction Russia and Bukhara in the Early Twentieth Century In Western European travelogues of journeys to the Emirate of Bukhara, one of the more frequently mentioned landmarks of the city of Bukhara is the one hundred fifty foot tall Kalyan minaret in its center, from which the last Emirs of the Manghit Dynasty hurled prisoners to their death. After the decree of Bukhara as a protectorate of the Russian Empire in 1873, the despotism of the last emirs was widely evaluated by the literature of Western travel authors, Russian bureaucrats, and Bukharan reformists alike. Meanwhile, in 1906 Nicholas II read his statements to the First State Duma, decreeing that he would still maintain his autocratic power despite the attempts at democracy the Duma embodied. Ironically, the parliament —established after strikes and peasant uprisings— sat in the glittering halls of Russia’s grand Tauride palace. While Emir Mohammed Alim Khan witnessed the destruction of the Emirate at the hands of both Russian imperialists and reformers within the Emirate, Nicholas II faced a similar threat of complete delegitimization of his power. In the early years of the twentieth century, the Russian Empire consisted of most of its modern day territory as well as modern-day Finland, and the Central Asian lands as far as Afghanistan and modern-day Iran.

  • Muslim Life in Central Asia, 1943-1985
    Muslim Life in Central Asia, 1943-1985 Eren Murat Tasar, Harvard University, Visiting Research Fellow, Social Research Center, American University of Central Asia The period from World War II to the rise of Gorbachev saw important changes in the realms of Islamic practice, education, and social and moral norms in Soviet Central Asia. In particular, the establishment of four geographic “spiritual administrations” to oversee and manage Muslim religious life in the Soviet Union in 1943 1, the foundation of a special state committee to oversee the affairs of non-Orthodox faiths in 1944, and the opening of the country’s only legal madrasah in 1945 (in Bukhara, Uzbekistan) inaugurated a new chapter in the history of Islam in the Soviet Union. Subsequent decades saw the professionalization of a legally registered, ecclesiastical Islamic hierarchy affiliated with the party-state, as well as the growth of unregistered networks of Islamic teachers and prayer leaders. On a broader societal level, the increased prosperity of the Khrushchev and Brezhnev years (1953-1982) witnessed important social developments such as a sharp decrease in public observance of Islamic rituals and strictures (the prohibition of pork and alcohol consumption, for instance) and, in urban areas, a rise in interfaith marriage. Muslim identity, as well as the social and religious life of Muslim communities, evolved in Central Asia during the Soviet period. Anthropologists, historians, and political scientists studying Islam in Central Asia have debated the nature of this evolution in the realms of social, cultural and political life. The analysis has tended to define the relationship between Muslims and the Soviet 1 These being the spiritual administrations of Russia and Siberia, Transcaucasia, the Northern Caucasus, and Central Asia and Kazakstan (SADUM).

    Spirit Breaking: Uyghur Dispossession, Culture Work and Terror Capitalism in a Chinese Global City Darren T. Byler A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2018 Reading Committee: Sasha Su-Ling Welland, Chair Ann Anagnost Stevan Harrell Danny Hoffman Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Anthropology ©Copyright 2018 Darren T. Byler University of Washington Abstract Spirit Breaking: Uyghur Dispossession, Culture Work and Terror Capitalism in a Chinese Global City Darren T. Byler Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Sasha Su-Ling Welland, Department of Gender, Women, and Sexuality Studies This study argues that Uyghurs, a Turkic-Muslim group in contemporary Northwest China, and the city of Ürümchi have become the object of what the study names “terror capitalism.” This argument is supported by evidence of both the way state-directed economic investment and security infrastructures (pass-book systems, webs of technological surveillance, urban cleansing processes and mass internment camps) have shaped self-representation among Uyghur migrants and Han settlers in the city. It analyzes these human engineering and urban planning projects and the way their effects are contested in new media, film, television, photography and literature. It finds that this form of capitalist production utilizes the discourse of terror to justify state investment in a wide array of policing and social engineering systems that employs millions of state security workers. The project also presents a theoretical model for understanding how Uyghurs use cultural production to both build and refuse the development of this new economic formation and accompanying forms of gendered, ethno-racial violence.

  • 470 Jeff Eden, Paolo Sartori, and Devin Deweese, Eds. This Volume
    470 Book Reviews/Comptes rendus Jeff Eden, Paolo Sartori, and Devin DeWeese, eds., Beyond Modernism: Rethink- ing Islam in Russia, Central Asia and Western China (19th–20th Centuries). Special Issue of the Journal of the Economic and Social History of the Orient 59/1–2 (2016). This volume is a first-rate product of academic insight into the re-evaluation of modernity in Central Eurasia. The theme of the work is Jadidism, which K. Hitchins defines broadly in the Encyclopaedia Iranica as “a movement of reform among Muslim intellectuals in Central Asia … from the first years of the 20th century to the 1920s,” though others use the term more broadly to include its clear antecedents in the intellectual Muslim elites of the urban cen- ters of late-nineteenth-century Islam in Beirut, Cairo, Istanbul, and the regional capital of the CrimeanTatars in the Russian Empire, Bakhchisaray.The contrib- utors do not simply challenge Jadidism, but satisfyingly dissect, deconstruct, and then repurpose it for use outside the hallowed sphere of intellectual his- tory. The contributors generally succeed in their efforts to speak cogently and directly to the problems of studying modernity in a field so often labeled Euro- centric. Rather than dismissing the term outright, the authors wholly defang the sometimes-poisonous rhetoric that separates historians arbitrarily divided by questions of competence and privilege over whom, exactly, has the right and ability to speak for the long-dead Jadidists of the nineteenth and early twenti- eth centuries.

The history of Jadidism and its evolution from enlightenment to a powerful political movement can be retraced in it. Jadidism became an alternative form of the intellectual renewal of Muslim society. The beginning of the movement was connected with the introduction of the phonetics, so called “usul-i jadid”, method of teaching reading and writing instead of letter and syllabic one in maktabs and madrasas, that is a new method. The Jadids criticized religious fanaticism, required the substitution of obsolete religious schools for national secular ones, advocated the development of science and culture, supported the publishing

    The Influence of Internal Threats on Foreign Policy in Authoritarian States: Central Asia by Bakar Jikia Supervisor: Matteo Fumagalli Submitted to Central European University Department of Political Science In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2010 Abstract The importance of the Caspian region is difficult to overestimate. Vast hydrocarbon resources located in less developed Central Asian states represent an excellent lure for interests of world powers. The collapse of the Soviet Union attracted wide international interest transforming the region into an object of rivalry between world powers, the rivalry which is becoming more and more intense every year. Difficulty of successful navigation in this competitive environment hitches weak states of the region towards alliances with greater powers. Using intensive case study the paper researches the influence of Domestic political developments on foreign policy outputs of Central Asian states, particularly their political orientation in relation to internal threats. It argues that domestic challenges, faced by authoritarian regimes in Central Asia determine foreign policy outputs of their states.
