Essays on Uzbek History Culture and Language

This volume contains ten individual articles which focus on a variety of topics relating to Uzbek history culture and linguistics. Coordinated by professors Bakhtiyar Nazarov and Denis Sinor it is a joint project between American scholars and those from the Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic (now the Republic of Uzbekistan). At the time of its creation it was intended to demonstrate the immense scholarly potential that could come from collaborations between the U.S. and Uzbek S.S.R. The essays it presents contain a vast breadth and depth of knowledge and any scholar of Uzbek or Central Asian linguistics history or culture in general would be remiss to not read them.
