31. Uzbekistan: Heirs to the Silk Road

Average Customer Review: 4.0 out of 5 stars
Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France | Japan
Editorial Review

Product Description
The Silk Road evokes images of heavily laden caravans crossing endless deserts, steppes, and mountain ranges to reach the markets of wealthy oasis towns. From the second century B.C., this network of merchants' routes, well over 4,000 miles long, linked China and the Roman Empire. It served the trade of luxury goods, notably silk, and stimulated the spread of religion, culture, and art.

The republic of Uzbekistan, with its ancient urban cultural centers of Bukhara, Chiwa, and Samarkand, is the heartland of the Silk Road. The evolving history of the region is clearly explained here in the context of its complex geography, together with analyses of the architecture, the art of the book, Islamic arts and crafts, and the rich variety of textiles of the region.

Central Asia's position at the heart of the Eurasian landmass naturally attracted a long succession of conquerors, traders, envoys, and missionaries. People of many different religions, languages, and cultures met, and between the nomads of the steppes and the settled population of the cities there was a regular exchange of goods and ideas. The cultural history of the region is illustrated with pictures of archaeological finds and ethnographical objects from European and Uzbek museums and private collections, many published for the first time. 712 illustrations, 437 in color. ...

4-0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive guide through the ages.
This German collaboration does well in discussing the general history of the region from the pre-Islamic Sogdian and Bactrian kingdoms, to the khanates and the intrigues of the Great Game to the present day independantcountry.

Uzbekistan itself, strangely enough, is largely a Soviet eracreation. The present borders include the historically important towns ofSamarkand and Burkhara (and much of the Fergana Valley), much to theannoyance of Tadjikistan. Thus, the work focusses on the regionaldefinition of Uzbekistan rather than as a people. (The Uzbeks trace theirname from Ozbeg, a leader of tribes of Mongol descent in the 14thCentury).

Vivid pictures of works of art as well as early photographschronicle the cultural sophistication in what was once the crossroads ofthe greatest civillizations in antiquity. An in depth analysis of thedifferent patterns and motifs in carpets points attest to the subtleinfluences in the region. The book cannot be faulted on its detail of itsanalysis of artifacts and works of art. Long a people with a nomadicinclination, such influences did not necessarily remain rooted for long,and these remain as probably its most reliable catalog of its past.

Thussaid, the book is informative to the point of being somewhat staid in itsnarrative. Not much is said about life after the transition from the formerUzbek SSR to an independant country. The work is obviously of some nationalimportance as the President of the new Republic provides theforward.

Recommended if you hold more than a casual interest in theregion. ... Read more

Product Description

Recent political changes in Central Asia, where the United States is replacing Russia as the dominant power, are having a profound effect on Russian speakers in the region. These people, formerly perceived as progressive and engaging with Europe, are now confronted by the erasure of their literary, musical, cinematic and journalistic culture, as local ethnic and American cultures become much stronger. 

This book examines the predicament of Russian culture in Central Asia, looking at literature, language, cinema, music, and religion. It argues that the Soviet past was much more complex than the simplified, polarised rhetoric of the Cold War period and also that the present situation, in which politicians from the former Soviet regime often continue in power, is equally complex.

Editorial Review

Product Description
Sadr-i-Ziya's Diary lends valuable perspective tonumerous studies narrowly focused upon the modern Reformists (Jadids)of his area. It also, and perhaps in the first place, reveals theendless occupational and mortal uncertainties tormenting a CentralAsian Islamic judge practicing his profession within an aged politicaland economical system deteriorating during the last decades,ca. 1880-1920, of the state of Bukhara. By supplying a Bukharanintellectual's personal history, Sadr-i Ziya, author, poet andcalligrapher, also reveals himself as an admirable human being whoenjoys life but endures the repeated, scalding experience of losingbeloved children, their mothers, and other family members, in an erawhen medicine and prayer scarcely deterred the multitude of prevailinginflictions. Nothwithstanding this strong focus upon his personallife, Sadr-i Ziya provides an unparalleled view of the central roleplayed by the omnipresent religious hierarchy in his homeland. ... Read more
