Tarikh-e Engelab-e Fikri-ye Bukhara
[A History of Intellectual Revolution in Bokhara]
Sadriddin Ayni
The purpose of the (ASPS) publication of a Persian series, beginning with this work, is to make important unpublished texts accessible for the first time in the original Persian.
—Saďd Amir Arjomand (President, Association for the Study of Persianate Societies)
Sadriddin Ayni (1878-1954) played a leading role in the cultural politics of Stalin’s Central Asia; while collaborating with Uzbek intellectuals and Russian scholars, he was instrumental in preserving and reviving Persian culture in its own “safe haven” of Tajikistan. It is most satisfying that his
Tarikh-e Engelab-e Fikri-ye Bukhara now joins his memoirs in Perso-Arabic script
(Yaddashtha, published nine years ago by Sa‘idi Sirjani) as a document of his endeavors available to all readers of Persian.
—John R. Perry (The University of Chicago)
Now that Central Asia is playing an ever more prominent role in a world that is still very ignorant about its history and culture, the publication of this important work by one of the earliest and most revered Central Asian modernist thinkers is overdue, and much to be welcomed.
—Philip G. Kreyenbroek (Göttingen)
Saddridin Aini was among the more important Persian-speaking intellectuals of the twentieth century. The significance of his witness to the transition from a virtually feudal society under the Emirs of Bukhara to a socialist experiment in Central Asia is undiminished by the ways in which the experiment went tragically wrong.
—Juan R.I. Cole (The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor)
The publication in original Persian of Sadraddin Ayni’s History of Intellectual Revolution in Bukhara by ASPS is an invaluable service toward retrieving the Persianate heritage in Central Asia and exploring its modern evolution.
—Abbas Amanat (Yale University)
