HIST 536 History of Central and Inner Asia
3 Credits
The course surveys the history of Central and
Inner Asia (the territory of the former Soviet
Central Asian republics, Kirgizstan, Kazakhstan,
Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan, as well as Mongolia
and Northwest China) from the beginnings to the
present, also including in the discussion the East
European steppe region when appropriate. While
it looks at at this vast geographical space as part
of various imperial configurations (the Hun, Türk,
Kazar, Mongol, Timurid, and Russian Empires,
as well as the Muslim Caliphate and the Soviet
Union), it discusses local historical processes and
dynamics, addressing the question of in what
sense the region can be considered a separate
historical-geographical entity.
