"Readers will find fresh and thought-provoking studies: the differing approaches of the U.S. and the [former] Soviet Union to Middle East policy, Central Asia, and South Asia ...provide grounds for self-criticism and the exploration of new directions." - John L. Esposito. Russian, Central Asian, and American scholars candidly assess the relative strengths and weaknesses of their respective past and present approaches to understanding political and religious developments in the Muslim world. Richard W. Cottam and Georgy M. Korniyenko demonstrate that much of U.S. and Soviet conduct in the Middle East after World War II was based on reciprocal misperceptions. Martha Brill Olcott, Alexei V. Malashenko, and Abdujabar Abduvakhitov emphasize the endurance of supposedly suppressed or obliterated religious and national identities in the Central Asian nations. Victor G. Korgun and David B. Edwards offer different perspectives on the Soviet Union's failed attempt to establish secular socialist rule in Afghanistan. Tribe and national identities among the Bakhtiyari and Kurds of Iran are discussed by Gene R. Garthwaite. The Islamization of Pakistan is considered by Vyacheslav Ya. Belokrenitsky, Dimitri B. Novossyolov, and Richard Kurin. Muhammad Khalid Masud calls for new directions in the cross-cultural analysis of politics and religion in Muslim states.
