MICRO-HISTORY OF RE-ISLAMIZATION IN EX-KOLKHOZ VILLAGE

Abstract
The paper traces a micro-history of the return of Islam to the public sphere examining it at the level of a distinct Muslim congregation (jama‘at) in Northern Dagestan. The most serious impact of the dissolution of the Soviet kolkhoz system was the division of a previously united community into two separate congregations in the mountains and the lowlands. The emergence of Is-lam in the public sphere in the 1990s brought about an abrupt polarisation of Dagestani society, which disintegrated into several antagonist factions of Salafis and traditionalists. However, the congregation’s majority has been changing its religious orientation according to the situation, siding sometimes with one faction, sometimes with the other.
