Publications on Central Asia

The volume Guide to Scholars of the History and Culture of Central Asia, by John S. Schoeberlein, was published, with other volumes in process.

The Guide to Scholars of the History and Culture of Central Asia provides information on nearly 1,000 scholars from countries throughout the world, covering the great majority of scholars in this field.

Information on each scholar includes:

brief biographical data and scholarly background, including knowledge of languages;
addresses, institutional affiliations and other contact information;
scholarly interests, including areas of possible collaboration; and
bibliography of representative publications.

The Guide includes an alphabetical listing of scholars, as well as a thorough Subject Index and a Country/Institution Index (highlighting the major institutions supporting research on Central Asia throughout the world).

Disciplinary coverage includes fields related to history and culture: anthropology, archaeology, architecture, art history, cultural and social geography, history, philology, religion, sociology, and other related fields, such as economics, linguistics and political science.

Regional coverage includes the former Soviet Central Asian republics of Uzbekistan, Kazakstan, Kirghizstan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan, as well as the adjacent regions of Eastern Turkistan, Mongolia, Tibet, the Inner Asian Steppes, the Caucasus, Southern Russia, and Northern Iran and Afghanistan.
