Cross Border Connectivity. Jewish Central Asia in the 19/20 centuries

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Základní údaje: Cross Border Connectivity. Jewish Central Asia in the 19/20 centuries.n[Beyond Borders: Colonial Encounters & Challenges of Religious Minorities between Afghanistan, Central Asia, and Iran (19th–Early 20th Centuries). Istanbul (Orient Institut), 16.10.2025-17.10.2025] Jewish trading networks historically linked Afghanistan and Iran with Russian Turkestan, connecting South Asia to Europe. This paper examines the Marv oasis as a key node in this Central Asian trade corridor. Located at the crossroads of Mashhad, Herat, and Bukhara, Marv became, in the late nineteenth century, an important center and new home for various Jewish groups. In the early twentieth century, Russian colonial and later Soviet policies restricted Jewish mobility in the region and brought an end to Marv’s thriving Jewish community.nDrawing on archival sources, contemporary newspapers, and family histories, this study traces the trajectory of Jewish mercantile activity and culture in the Transcaspian region. It argues that Jewish cross-border trade networks and kinship ties persisted until the mid-1930s, when Afghan and Soviet policies closed borders and nationalized commerce. The paper further challenges rigid categorizations of Afghan, Bukharan, and Iranian Jewish identities, emphasizing their fluidity and interconnectedness.
