Muslim religious institutions in Imperial Russia : the Islamic world of Novouzensk District and the Kazakh Inner Horde, 1780-1910
"The book presents a detailed examination of Russia's rural Muslim religious institutions on the steppe frontier during the imperial period. It is based on a Turkic manuscript history entitled the Tavarikh-i Alti Ata, compiled in 1910. The study examines the mosques, madrasas, imams, mu'adhdhins, and Sufis of a single district and in adjoining regions of the Kazakh steppe, areas that were inhabited by several Muslim communities, including Tatar peasants and merchants, Bashkir and Kazakh nomads, and Muslim Cossacks."
