Overview

World-shaking revolutions in Russia in 1905 and 1917, and Ottoman Turkey in 1908, the First World War, the Turkish War of Independence, the establishment of Azerbaijan. These are the huge 20th century historical events reflected in Ahmet Agaoglu s life and writings. His life is a mirror of the tangled politics in a region where his role in establishing the Republic of Azerbaijan was decisive, as was his contribution to the intellectual ferment surrounding the problems of modernism, Western influence, identity and self-identification as Persian, Turk, Muslim, Russian Muslim, Caucasian Muslim, or Turkish Muslim. This work is based on Agaoglu s journalistic output and fieldwork in the Caucasus as well as literature of the period.
