Empirical evidence is augmented by in-depth archival research, thus allowing a perspective from the 19th to the 21st century. \u003cbr\u003e By shifting the focus to mountain peripheries and emphasising spaces in between urban centres of power in Afghanistan, Pakistan, China, and the Central Asian Republics different arenas of confrontation and effective changes emerge.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hermann Kreutzmann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004704353\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004704350\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/08\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 764\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Hermann Kreutzmann","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46052412883199,"sku":"9789004704350","price":152.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c553fe5b-ac87-42ea-840a-0264331dc2cc.jpg?v=1723556302","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pamirian-crossroads-and-beyond-hermann-kreutzmann-9789004704350","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
