A Memoir of Hardship and Resilience in Uzbekistan

In 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.
