Descriere

Rather than merely "surviving" Soviet rule, Islam in Central Asia shaped, and was shaped by, the social and political context of Communism. Relying on recently declassified Central Asian archival sources, most of them never seen before by historians, Soviet and Muslim offers a radical new reading of Islam's resilience and evolution under atheist rule.
