Rethinking Central Asia ed. by Korkut A. Erturk

This book re-examines the place of Central Asia in world history and argues that Central Asia has to be thought of on its own terms, rather than within a Eurocentric framework. By reflecting on its unique history in state and identity formation, social structure and gender relations, the contributions in this volume show that studying Central Asia is not only important for its own sake but also because of the contributions it can make to comparative social theory.
