Islam, Society and States across the Qazaq Steppe (15th - early 20th Centuries) (Veroffentlichungen Zur Iranistik)

Dieser Band verfolgt neue Forschungszugange zur Sozialgeschichte des inneren Eurasien von der fruhen Neuzeit bis zum Beginn der sowjetischen Periode. Die Beitrage beschaftigen sich mit der von kasachischen Gemeinschaften bewohnten Region, in deren Zentrum die Steppen des heutigen Kasachstan sowie Gebiete liegen, die heute zu Xinjiang, Sibirien, Turkmenistan und Usbekistan gehoren. Die einzelnen Artikel beleuchten transnationale Formen imperialer Regierung, Netzwerke islamischer Gelehrsamkeit und die politischen Strategien lokaler Eliten, von denen die soziale und kulturelle Geschichte eines grossen Gebiets im Herzen Eurasiens geformt wurde. Der Band versucht auf diese Weise, die sozialen und religiosen Raume der Kasachen mit dem historischen Kontext der verschiedenen Staaten, die um die Herrschaft uber das innere Eurasien konkurrierten, und mit der islamischen Welt insgesamt in Verbindung zu setzen.

Fatvas On Land Reform In Early Soviet Central Asia Correcting Transgressions in the House of Islam: Yang Zengxin’s Buguozhai wendu on Xinjiang’s Muslims Interpreting an Insurgency in Soviet Kazakhstan: The OGPU, Islam and Qazaq “Clans” in Suzak, 1930 INDEX The present volume maps out new lines of inquiry into the social history of Central Eurasia from the early modern to the early Soviet period. Contributions to the volume focus on the region inhabited by Qazaq communities, at the centre of which we find the steppes of present-day Kazakhstan as well as areas now comprising parts of Xinjiang, Siberia, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. The papers here assembled offer new insights on transnational forms of imperial governance, networks of Islamic learning and the politics of local elites which shaped the social and cultural history of a vast geographical area at the heart of Eurasia. The volume thus attempts to connect the social and the religious space inhabited by the Qazaqs to the historical context of competing states ruling over Central Eurasia, and to the wider Islamic cultural sphere
