Forthcoming title:
Over the past decades, Central Asian Studies has become a rapidly growing academic field within the Humanities and Social Sciences. Despite increased international academic attention, Central Asian scholars remain strikingly underrepresented in English-language published works on this region. Peripheral Narratives and Knowledge Production in Soviet and Contemporary Central Asia, 1917-Present examines the roots of knowledge production and preservation in Central Asia, and presents new perspectives on the roles of knowledge repositories and institutions in shaping collective memory.
