Small-scale traders play a crucial role in forging Asian
connectivity, forming networks and informal institutions separate
from those driven by nation-states, such as China's Belt and Road
Initiative. This ambitious study provides a unique insight into the
lives of the mobile traders from Afghanistan who traverse Eurasia.
Reflecting on over a decade of intensive ethnographic fieldwork,
Magnus Marsden introduces readers to a dynamic yet historically
durable universe of commercial and cultural connections. Through an
exploration of the traders' networks, cultural and religious
identities, as well as the nodes in which they operate, Marsden
emphasises their ability to navigate Eurasia's geopolitical
tensions and to forge transregional routes that channel significant
flows of people, resources, and ideas. Beyond the Silk Roads will
interest those seeking to understand contemporary iterations of the
Silk Road within the context of geopolitics in the region. This
title is also available as Open Access.
