Book Description: Access this title in all available formats (PDF, Online).
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. This collective work is the result of the Central Asia Research Cluster, a two-year transnational project that brought together scholars from Central Asia and other parts of the world to collaborate on a joint publication. The contributions cover a broad range of themes including ethnic and religious minorities, language and literature, art and architecture, nation building, and environmental (in)justice.
