EVERYDAY ISLAM
BY SERGEI P. POLIAKOV
9 HIGH x 6 WIDE
EXCELLENT CONDITION!
Trade paperback dated 1992 180 pages
With a rapidly growing population, deteriorating economic and
environmental conditions, and an unstable imperial centre, Soviet
Central Asia would seem destined to become one of the world's trouble
spots. Why then the apparent political quiet? This book argues that this
perception is, in itself, a reflection of our ignorance of the region.
Instead, argues the author, Islamic traditionalism has not only survived
but has flourished and is resurgent in Central Asia. This book includes
chapters on marital customs, the care of children, communal decision
making, social prestige and values, and the second economy in Central
Asia. Poliakov demonstrates the resilience of an un-Soviet way of life
which is supported by underground institutions, fostered by
unofficial clergy, and protected by the infiltration and subordination
of government and party organs.
