Cultural Change & Continuity In Central Asia

First published in 1991. Central Asia is a vast sprawling territory with no precise boundaries no precise geographic definition. There is much detailed closely focused research that remains to be done on every part of Central Asia. Sometimes however it is illuminating to stand back and look at the region as a whole seeking similarities as well as contrasts. This volume is a collection of papers from a conference on Tradition and Change in Central Asia was held at the School of Oriental and African Studies University of London in April 1987.
