Exploring the complex interplay of identity and perception, this book delves into how an individual can be labeled a terrorist by the Tajik state while simultaneously being viewed as a mujahid fighter and a family member. Utilizing existential anthropology, it examines the meanings of jihad, mujahid, and terrorism during the 2010 military intervention in Tajikistan. Through ethnographic research, pamphlets, and internet analysis, it sheds light on the struggles of Tajikistan's people to navigate their place in the global Muslim community post-Soviet Union.

The book explores the implications of demographic transitions in Muslim societies, focusing on the "youth bulge" phenomenon and its potential effects on conflict and development. Using Tajikistan as a case study, it examines the interplay between demographic shifts and political dynamics in a post-Soviet context marked by civil war. Sophie Roche employs a social anthropological lens to offer fresh insights into how societies can leverage their youth population for social and technological advancements, challenging conventional narratives about demographic change.

"This book brings together a selection of academic texts on Islam in Central Asia and the biographies of the authors. The collection of biographies of Islamic intellectuals ranging from office-holder, to (opposition) politicians and academics covers the late socialist period, perestroika and independence. They document the long-term transformations of Islamic identities by Central Asians and the impact intellectuals have on shaping contemporary society. The book aims to facilitate a comparative reflection on the conditions of knowledge-production on Islam in the matrix of social movements and the spirit of an epoch, personal life-trajectories and convictions, politics and its effects. Most of the authors presented here are well-known in their scholarly or political field of action, so their articles have to be seen as authoritative texts in the same way as their biographies are. Thus in this book the focus is less on the delineation of a scholarly tradition (Oriental Studies), and more on the development of individual livelihoods and developments in a spectrum of scholarship, religious conviction and political activism." -- from publishers.
