Turkestan and the Rise of Eurasian Empires - A Study of Politics and Invented Traditions

Zusatztext Ali Anooshahr's recent book, Turkestan and the Rise of Eurasian Empires: A Study of Politics and Invented Traditions, is an excellent study of how historiography can assist in this ultimately political project. The book's chapters are woven very well together, although at times they are uneven in length and depth. This notwithstanding, Anooshahr's work is an excellent contribution to Persianate historiography that is likely to become a must-read for scholars of Persian, Central Asian, and South Asian history and historiography.
