Reviews
Eric Schluessel, author of Land of Strangers: The Civilizing Project in Qing Central Asia:
Eurasian Crossroads remains the best introduction to the history of this region. It draws out key phenomena and questions for each period, building from ecology and archaeology to ethnic politics. This edition includes an accessible analysis of contemporary events in context. This book was once pathbreaking—today it is essential.
