About the Book

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the history of Central Asia in the 18th century, examining the region's political, economic, social, and cultural developments within a broader Eurasian context. Drawing on a wide range of sources, including archival materials, travel accounts, and literary works, the book offers a nuanced and detailed account of this pivotal period.

The 18th century was a time of great change and upheaval in Central Asia. The region was home to a number of powerful empires, including the Qing dynasty in China, the Russian Empire, and the Persian Empire. These empires competed for control of the region's resources, and their conflicts often led to war and instability. In addition, the 18th century saw the rise of new social and cultural movements, such as the Sufi movement and the Jadid movement. These movements challenged traditional authority and helped to shape the region's future.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of these complex developments. It examines the political, economic, social, and cultural history of Central Asia in the 18th century, and it places the region's history within a broader Eurasian context. The book is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of Central Asia, Eurasia, or the 18th century.
