This intensively researched urban study dissects Russian Imperial andearly Soviet rule in Islamic Central Asia from the diverse viewpoints of tsaristfunctionaries, Soviet bureaucrats, Russian workers, and lower-class women as well asMuslim notables and Central Asian traders. Jeff Sahadeo's stimulating analysisreveals how political, social, cultural, and demographic shifts altered the natureof this colonial community from the tsarist conquest of 1865 to 1923, when Bolshevikauthorities subjected the region to strict Soviet rule. In addition to placing thebuilding of empire in Tashkent within a broader European context, Sahadeo's accountmakes an important contribution to understanding the cultural impact of empire onRussia's periphery.
