Geography and Mobility in Central Asia
from Part i - Central and North Asia: Old and New Communities in Russia’s Shadow
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 August 2023
This chapter is concerned with the history and historiography of the traditional (native) communities of Jews in (Soviet) Central Asia. Most scholarly and popular literature, it argues, portrays these communities as distinct, secluded Jewish ethnic groups, disconnected from each other and from the wider Jewish world. However, a better understanding of their intertwined histories requires the placement of these Jewish groups in a wider cultural and geographical context.
