The late Elizabeth Bacon was Professor of Anthropology at Michigan State University.
<p>Bacon has produced a landmark study of cultural change in Soviet Central Asia after a century of intensive modernization. She expertly weaves the historical, linguistic, geographic, political, economic, and cultural threads of the region into a fascinating narrative with well-selected photographs and an extensive bibliography. Highly recommended to specialist and generalist alike.</p>
World Affairs
<p>Bacon's work stands the test of time amazingly well. Her book may still be the best general introduction to modern Central Asia, especially regarding the sensitive topic of identity and Russification.</p>
Whole Earth
<p><i>Central Asians under Russian Rule</i> is at the same time a useful compendium of facts on the native cultures and customs of the pastoral and oasis peoples, and a survey and assessment of the changes wrought in their ways by Russian and Soviet influences.</p>
International Affairs
<p>This objective, readable account will be a useful addition to literature on Central Asia. The book is well documented with an extensive bibliography.</p>
American Political Science Review
<p>This well-written book points to an interesting selectivity in the adoption or, on the contrary, rejection of an imported culture.</p>
