Description
On The Religious Frontier: Tsarist Russia and Islam in the Caucasus The history of Muslim Azerbaijan under Christian Orthodox Russian imperial rule is marked by complex relationships between conquerors, conquered, and the empire's administrators. This book examines the formation of a Russian colonial administration in the region, social, political, and economic developments, and local responses to conquest, military rule, and Russification. Drawing on original archival research from across Azerbaijan and Russia, Firouzeh Mostashari explores the period from 1804 to the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917. Her study sheds light on the ways in which the seeds of recent conflict were sown in tsarist Russia, making it an important read for scholars of the Caucasus history and politics. This book offers a fascinating insight into the region's past and its ongoing impact on contemporary relations between Russia and its Muslim frontiers.
