520 2  "Azan on the Moon is an in-depth anthropological study of 
       people's lives along the Pamir Highway in eastern 
       Tajikistan. Constructed in the 1930s in rugged high-
       altitude terrain, the road fundamentally altered the 
       material and social fabric of this former Soviet outpost 
       on the border with Afghanistan and China. The highway 
       initially brought sentiments of disconnection and hardship,
       followed by Soviet modernization and development, and 
       ultimately a sense of distinction from bordering countries
       and urban centers that continues to this day. Based on 
       extensive fieldwork and through an analysis of 
       construction, mobility, technology, media, development, 
       Islam, and the state, Till Mostowlansky shows how ideas of
       modernity are both challenged and reinforced in 
       contemporary Tajikistan. In the wake of China's rise in 
       Central Asia, people along the Pamir Highway strive to 
       reconcile a modern future with a modern past. Weaving 
       together the road, a population, and a region, Azan on the
       Moon presents a rich ethnography of global connections"--
