Adeeb Khalid combines insights from the study of both Islam and Soviet history in this sophisticated analysis of the ways that Muslim societies in Central Asia have been transformed by the Soviet presence in the region. Arguing that the utopian Bolshevik project of remaking the world featured a sustained assault on Islam that destroyed patterns of Islamic learning and thoroughly de-Islamized public life, Khalid demonstrates that Islam became synonymous with tradition and was subordinated to powerful ethnonational identities that crystallized during the Soviet period. He shows how this legacy endures today and how, for the vast majority of the population, a return to Islam means the recovery of traditions destroyed under Communism. "Islam after Communism" reasons that the fear of a rampant radical Islam that dominates both Western thought and many of Central Asia's governments should be tempered by an understanding of the politics of antiterrorism, which allows governments to justify their own authoritarian policies by casting all opposition as extremist. Comparing the secularization of Islam in Central Asia to experiences in Turkey, the former Yugoslavia, and other secular Muslim states, the author lays the groundwork for a nuanced and well-informed discussion of the forces at work in this crucial region.

感覺他的政治用意蠻明顯的。尤其是在結論部份。就像一位人權觀察員。
评分书中的政见是不懂，其余的历史求索则大都发人深省
评分Can't believe it was published in 2007

评分清晰易懂，内容并不全是关于宗教，更像是中亚政治+伊斯兰+社会的通览，讨论苏联形成与解体和中亚世俗化的关系，认为中亚伊斯兰教的现状与苏联的现代化密不可分。从苏联中亚史的方向来看，有一些当时非常新颖的观点。
