    • Abstract:
      The book "Central Asia. A New History from the Imperial Conquests to the Present" by Adeeb Khalid offers new insights into the history of Central Asia. It analyzes the transformation of transimperial and transregional connections in the region over a period of approximately 300 years. The book covers the internal development of the region, the cultural and political connections across geographical barriers, and the emergence of modern nation-states. It also describes the impact of Chinese and Russian-Soviet spheres of influence on the societies of Central Asia, including the repression in Xinjiang. The book is considered the most important standard work on the history of modern Central Asia. [Extracted from the article]
