Published between 1906 and 1930, and with a readership that stretched from Morocco to Iran, Molla Nasreddin is perhaps the most important Muslim magazine of the twentieth century. Throughout its beautifully printed pages, issues of social, cultural and political relevance were debated, embellished with cartoons and illustrations of marvelous graphic power. Under the editorship of Jalil Mammadguluzadeh, the magazine created anew the complex identity of the Caucasus region, attacking the Muslim clergy and the colonial policies of the U.S. and Europe, while arguing for democratic and educational reform and women’s rights. This thoroughly researched volume, itself superbly designed in its presentation of this archival material, gathers a selection of iconic covers, clever illustrations and witty caricatures from Molla Nasreddin, curated by the Eurasian artist collective Slavs and Tatars. It reveals a rich world of print culture hitherto unseen in the west.

Molla Nasreddin the magazine that would ve could ve should ve 1st Table of contents:

  1. Introduction/Foreword: Contextualizing Molla Nasreddin‘s historical significance, its role in early 20th-century Muslim intellectual thought, and the relevance of its satire today. This section likely discusses the magazine’s namesake (the Sufi wise-fool), its pan-Islamic readership, and its unique blend of visual and textual satire.

  2. Selections of Covers and Illustrations: The core of the book features reproductions of the magazine’s striking visuals. These are often grouped by the specific themes they address:

    • Women’s Rights and Education: Illustrations and articles advocating for the emancipation and education of women, challenging traditional norms.
    • Clerical Hypocrisy and Religious Fanaticism: Satire targeting conservative Muslim clergy and religious backwardness.
    • Colonialism and Imperialism: Critiques of Russian, Ottoman, European, and American colonial policies in the region.
    • Westernization vs. Local Traditions (East vs. West): Debates and humorous commentary on the adoption of Western ideas and the tension with local customs.
    • Social Injustice and Corruption: Exposing the venal corruption of local elites, landlords, and government officials.
    • Political Commentary: Satire on the volatile political landscape of the early 20th-century Caucasus, including revolutionary upheavals and political shifts.
    • Language and National Identity: Reflections on the use of Azeri and other regional languages in contrast to Russian and other imperial languages.

  3. Translated Captions and Annotations: Each illustration is accompanied by translations of the original captions (which were often in multiple languages like Azeri, Russian, Persian, Ottoman Turkish, and Arabic) and brief explanatory texts to provide historical and cultural context for the contemporary reader.

  4. Essays/Commentary by Slavs and Tatars: The collective’s own critical insights and interpretation of Molla Nasreddin‘s enduring relevance, and how it resonates with their own artistic practice and focus on Eurasia.
