Reviews

"Overall, this book is a remarkable contribution to contemporary area studies, particularly in relation to positioning Islam's role in the history of Central Asian Muslims, as well as in their current political, spiritual, economic and societal affairs.--Elmira Akhmetova ""The Muslim World Book Review, Vol. 40, No. 4"" Galina Yemelianova's Muslims in Central Asia is a unique study which traces the history of Muslims and Islam in what, in the 19th century, became Russia- and later Soviet-controlled Central Asia. In this meticulously researched book, Yemelianova offers a panoramic overview of the political, economic, cultural and religious developments in this part of Central Asia from the Russian takeover to the present day and explains which factors make it so distinct. This is a much-needed book about the region which is still poorly understood in the West despite its importance in the current geopolitical dynamics.-- ""Vera Tolz, The University of Manchester"""
