Product Details
- A Memoir of Hardship and Resilience in UzbekistanIn the wake of Uzbekistan’s independence from the Soviet Union in 1991, the country faced a turbulent economic shift where corruption flourished, citizens struggled to navigate a new, uncertain market and the once middle class faced poverty. For Haideh Salehi-Esfahani, an American professor sent to Samarkand State University in 1996 on a Fulbright teaching fellowship, witnessing the harsh effects of this transition was an experience that would mark her forever.Her unique memoir, A Season in Samarkand, offers a raw, intimate portrayal of a nation and its people grappling with the cost of independence. Through first-hand accounts by her colleagues, friends and students, Salehi-Esfahani weaves together a deeply personal and incredible story of struggle, sacrifice, perseverance, and community survival.Both eye-opening and inspirational, A Season in Samarkand is a moving tribute to the people of Uzbekistan and the power of strength, grace, and resilience against the harshest adversity.
