- Beginning in Inner Asia two thousand years ago, the Turks have migrated and expanded to form today's Turkish Republic, five post-Soviet republics, other societies across Eurasia, and a global diaspora. For the first time in a single, accessible volume, this book traces the Turkic peoples' trajectory from steppe, to empire, to nation-state. Cultural, economic, social, and political history unite in these pages to illuminate the projection of Turkic identity across space and time and the profound transformations marked successively by the Turks' entry into Islam and into modernity.
Includes bibliographical references (p. ) and index.
The pre-Islamic Turks and their precursors -- Islam and empire from the Seljuks through the Mongols -- Islamic Empires from Temür to the "gunpowder era" -- The Turks in the modern world : reform and imperialism -- The Turks and modernity : republican and communist -- Conclusion : the Turkic caravan in retrospect.
