Special Issue: Colony and Post-Colony: The Limits of Historical
Imagination in Central Asia and the Caucasus

Guest editor: Adeeb Khalid

Since the independence of former Soviet republics of Central Asia and
the Caucasus, scholars of the region have had unprecedented access to
new archival material and oral histories. A new generation of scholars
has been grappling with understanding the Soviet legacy in Central
Asia and the Caucasus and the specificities of Soviet modernization
and its effects. These scholars are mapping out a variety of
approaches, some drawing inspiration from post-colonial theory, others
taking broader comparative perspectives to modernization and social
change, but all increasingly sensitive the complex interactions
between local populations and elites of the republics and the Soviet
centre. The aim of this special issue is to bring together
theoretically informed and conceptually self-aware contributions from
scholars working on diverse aspects of Soviet interventions in the
economic, social and cultural life of Central Asia and the Caucasus,
with a view to making the emerging debates and perspectives more
easily accessible to students of the region.
