Abstract

This article is based on one of the rare historical sources of the 19th century, “Turkestan: Notes of a Journey in Russian Turkestan, Kokand, Bukhara, and Kulja”, written by Eugene Schuyler—a prominent American researcher, Doctor of Science, diplomat, and traveler. The book was authored during Schuyler’s travels through Central Asia in the second half of the 19th century and serves as a remarkable primary source on the region's social history and cultural life following its colonization by the Russian Empire. Such sources are rare. Due to its comprehensive depiction and respectful attitude towards the local peoples, the book is no less significant for researchers of colonial Central Asian history than Arminius Vambéry's famous “History of Bukhara or Transoxiana”.
