The Qїrghїz Baatïr and the Russian Empire : A Portrait of a Local Intermediary in Russian Central Asia /

: In The Qїrghїz Baatïr and the Russian Empire Tetsu Akiyama gives a vivid description of the dynamism and dilemmas of empire-building in nomadic Central Asia from the mid-nineteenth to the early twentieth century, through reconstructing the biography of Shabdan Jantay uulu (ca. 1839-1912), a chieftain from the northern Qїrghїz (Kirghiz, Kyrgyz) tribes. Based on the comprehensive study of primary sources stored in the archives of Central Asian countries and Russia, Akiyama explores Shabdan's intermediary role in the Russian Empire's military advance and rule in southern Semirech'e and its surrounding regions. Beyond the commonly held stereotype as a "faithful collaborator" to Russia, he appears here as a flexible and tough leader who strategically faced and dealt with Russian dominance.

Qazaqliq, or, Ambitious brigandage, and the formation of the Qazaqs : state and identity in post-Mongol central Eurasia /

: In Qazaqlïq , or Ambitious Brigandage , and the Formation of the Qazaqs Joo-Yup Lee examines the formation of new group identities, with a focus on the Qazaqs, in post-Mongol Central Eurasia within the context of qazaqlïq , or the qazaq way of life, a custom of political vagabondage widespread among the Turko-Mongolian peoples of Central Asia and the Qipchaq Steppe during the post-Mongol period. Utilizing a broad range of original sources, the book suggests that the Qazaqs, as well as the Shibanid Uzbeks and Ukrainian Cossacks, came into existence as a result of the qazaq , or "ambitious brigand," activities of their founders, providing a new paradigm for understanding state formation and identity in post-Mongol Central Eurasia.

Tārīkh-i Rashīdī /

: In the history of Islam, royal courts and other centers of wordly power played a major role in the survival and development of the sciences and the arts. And many rulers and high ranking officials themselves, too, often engaged in one or several of these. By way of example one may, for the Persianate world, mention Sultan Bayqārā (d. 911/1506), the Timurid ruler of Herat, and Ẓahīr al-Dīn Bābur (d. 937/1530), founder of the Mughal empire in India. Another example is the author of the present work, Mīrzā Muḥammad Ḥaydar Dūghlāt (d. 957/1551). Coming from a family of Chagatai generals and high administrators, he served a whole series of rulers in various parts of east Asia, mostly as a general and lastly as the ruler of Kashmir. Though wider in scope, the Tārīkh-i Rashīdī is above all a unique source of information on Chagatai history, full of personal reflexions on religion, culture, and the arts.

Tārīkh-i salāṭīn-i Kart /

: Ḥāfiẓ Abrū (d. 833/1430) was a Timurid historian who spent the greater part of his active life in Herat. An accomplished chess-player, he was a regular guest at the court of the chess-loving Tīmūr Lang (d. 807/1405). His works were all commissioned by Tīmūr's son Shāhrūkh (d. 850/1447), whom he had joined at his court in Herat after his accession to the throne in 807/1405. Ḥāfiẓ Abrū is especially known for his Jaghrāfiyā , a fascinating combination of geographical and historical information on the Islamic lands in two volumes. The work published here is part of his so-called Majmūʿa-yi Ḥāfiẓ Abrū , a universal history compiled from various sources. It is the account of the history of the Kart dynasty of Herat (643-783/1245-1381) based on, among others, Sayf b. Muḥammad Hirawī's (alive in 721/1321) Tārīkhnāma-yi Hirāt and Khaṭīb Fūshanjī's (alive in 702/1302) Kart-nāma , now lost. An important and rare source on the house of Kart of Herat.
