Recenzje

the book does a very good job in bringing the complexities of Russia's Muslim intellectual life of the late imperial period close to a readership broadly interested in the modernization of Russia's peripheries and in Russian-Ottoman relations ... Meyer convincingly demonstrates that since the 1870s Muslim communities in inner Russia perceived the state as a threat, especially in view of the administrative attempts at taking control over Muslim schools.
