{"product_id":"central-asia-edward-a-allworth-9780822315216","title":"Central Asia: One Hundred Thirty Years of Russian Dominance, a Historical Overview","description":"For centuries, Central Asia has been a leading civilization, an Islamic heartland, and a geographical link between West and East. After a long traditional history, it is now in a state of change. With the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991, five newborn Central Asian states have emerged in place of the former Soviet Central Asia and Afghanistan. \u003ci\u003eCentral Asia\u003c\/i\u003e provides the most comprehensive survey of the history of the impact of Russian rule upon the political, economic, social, intellectual, and cultural life of this diverse region. Together, these essays convey a sense of the region's community as well as the divisive policies that have affected it for so long.\u003cbr\u003eNow in its third edition (it was first published in 1967 and revised in 1989), this new edition of \u003ci\u003eCentral Asia \u003c\/i\u003ehas been updated to include a new preface, a revised and updated bibliography, and a final chapter that brings the book up to 1994 in considering the crucial problems that stem from a deprivation of sovereign, indigenous leadership over the past 130 years. This volume provides a broad and essential background for understanding what has led up to the late twentieth-century configuration of Central Asia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edward A.
