| Abstract: |
This research provides critical discourse analysis (CDA) of primary archival materials that captured the experiences of Central Asian people in the early 1900s first by the Tsarist and later the Bolshevik governments in Central Asia (CA). Using two postcolonial theories, an EcoJustice theoretical approach and settler colonialism, I parse out colonial discourses that created a new social, economic, and ecological order which drastically altered the ecosystem and lifestyles of Central Asian populations. Using archival materials, I tell the story of how these settler colonizers dispossessed, displaced, and then denied their violence they caused to Central Asians.
