Bruce Lincoln Prize Book Prize from the American Association for the Advancement of Slavic Studies (AAASS)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis groundbreaking work in women's history explores the lives of Uzbek women, in their own voices and words, before and after the Russian Revolution of 1917. Drawing upon their oral histories and writings, Marianne Kamp reexamines the Soviet Hujum, the 1927 campaign in Soviet Central Asia to encourage mass unveiling as a path to social and intellectual \"liberation.\" This engaging examination of changing Uzbek ideas about women in the early twentieth century reveals the complexities of a volatile time: why some Uzbek women chose to unveil, why many were forcibly unveiled, why a campaign for unveiling triggered massive violence against women, and how the national memory of this pivotal event remains contested today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marianne Kamp\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0295988193\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780295988191\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Washington Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/31\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.18lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.92h x 6.09w x 0.88d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2008 pg. 182","brand":"Marianne Kamp","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43992914395391,"sku":"9780295988191","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_663d795d-6559-44d9-8ae1-4731fb149e07.jpg?v=1683321507","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-new-woman-in-uzbekistan-marianne-kamp-9780295988191","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
