The publication discusses
the genesis and the history of development of the national progressive movement
in Muslim communities in the Caucasus and Central Asia in the 19th – early 20th
century. The authors have identified common and specific features of cultural
and educational reforms and their practical implementation in the complex
context of the Russian imperial colonial rule. The publication focuses on the
genesis of the public and philosophical positions of the advanced
intelligentsia in both regions and its efforts towards the enlightenment and
social progress of its peoples. Through the works of the prominent
representatives of the movement, the authors have disclosed the genesis of the
ideas of consolidation and unity of the progressive forces of the Muslim
‘periphery’ of the Empire and the formation of the new liberal and democratic
ideology which resulted in the establishment of the Azerbaijan Democratic
Republic, the Mountain Republic, the Turkestan Autonomy and the Alash Orda. The
book is of interest to specialists and the wider general public.
