Central Asia, the 'heart' of the Eurasian landmass, has through the
centuries been the hub of diverse and varied cultures. These
cultures have encompassed pre-Islamic religions and Islam,
sedentary and nomadic lifestyles and lived through rapid
transitions from feudal, capitalist and socialist economies, from
Tsarist to Soviet and post-Soviet formations. The essays in this
volume examine the cultural exchanges and encounters that have
occurred in the region through a vast timeline that extends from
the premedieval to the medieval and modern periods. The writers are
academics, as well as art practitioners and independent researchers
who belong to a wide spectrum of disciplines: Central Asian and
Russian Studies, Architecture, Ethno-Musicology, History, Painting,
Film Studies, Art History, Textiles, Literature and International
Relations. The volume presents a colourful mosaic of views on the
many cultural histories of Central Asia.
