The Silk Road and the Sitar
This article uses the history and development of the sitar and its music 1) to argue for the neglected importance to historical studies of music as a central aspect of human culture; 2) to provide a case study of cultural exchange across what is known as the “Silk Road” over time and geography; and 3) to demonstrate the qualitative equivalence of phenomena we associate with “the Silk Road” and with “globalization.” Lutes appear in Indian iconogra…

The technological silk road
‘The technological silk road’ examines the history of technological transfers along the silk road. Intensified communication of ideas and technologies often arose from war and imperial conquest. The ability to produce silk, long gave southern settlements something to trade for horses with northern nomads. Paper was another technology that spread westward, as did moveable type, although it was in Europe that they were most effectively combined. Me…
The arts on the silk road
‘The arts on the silk road’ provides a sample of shared Eurasian cultural and intellectual themes. Vernacular tales throughout Eurasia shared certain genres and styles, with some stories from India spreading to east and west. In music, the lute was an important instrument in diverse lands. From its central Asian origin, it was adapted across the world and used by Islamic scholars to develop music theory. Both objects and craftsmen moved, and stim…
Environment and empires
‘Environment and empires’ surveys the geographic character of the silk road. The silk road was a not a single route, and traded in more than silk. Similarly, it was more than just a route between China and the Mediterranean, it shaped and interacted with the people and empires of south and central Asia. A land route was necessary, as the rivers of central Asia offer no access to the sea. The silk road has long been a conduit for nomadic empires, …
Eras of silk road fluorescence
‘Eras of silk road fluorescence’ looks at the effect on silk road communications of shifting political groupings. The most intense communications took place when both nomadic states and the states of the Eurasian rim were relatively centralized. The classical age of the silk road saw centralized control by a relatively few empires. Following this, Turkic peoples spread down the silk road from the north of China, and both Rome and Han China collap…
The Silk Road
The Silk Road: A Very Short Introduction looks beyond the initial exotic impression conveyed by the phrase 'silk road' to sketch the historical background against which the silk road flourished, and consider the significance of old-world intercultural exchange to Eurasian and world history generally. This VSI outlines the dynamics of Central Eurasian history that promoted silk road interactions, especially the role of nomad empires; and highlight…
New Qing Imperial History
New Qing Imperial History uses the Manchu summer capital of Chengde and associated architecture, art and ritual activity as the focus for an exploration of the importance of Inner Asia and Tibet to the Qing Empire (1636-1911). Well-known contributors argue that the Qing was not simply another Chinese dynasty, but was deeply engaged in Inner Asia not only militarily, but culturally, politically and ideologically.Emphasizing the diverse range of pe…
Historical Perspectives on Contemporary Xinjiang
This paper reflects on historical precedents to some of the issues raised by other papers in this symposium. Particular problems discussed include the population and demographic distribution of Han, Uyghur and other groups in Xinjiang; fiscal subventions from Beijing to Xinjiang; Qing dynasty agricultural reclamation as precursor of the bingtuan; Xinjiang's environment; and ethnic relations

Beyond the Pass
This book examines the fiscal and ethnic policies of the Qing empire in a region that constitutes the westernmost sixth of the People's Republic of China, showing how policies changed as a result of declining dynastic resources and the growing importance of Chinese merchants on the frontier

A Uyghur Muslim in Qianlong's Court
In tokyo's fashionable roppongi crossing, just down the street from the Almond Cafe where urbanites converge to meet their dates, a sign over a Chinese restaurant bears two Chinese characters: Kō Hi (Xiang Fei).The establishment's menu and business cards display a portrait of a beautiful East Asian woman in Manchu dress; her expression is enigmatic. The restaurant's advertising describes a Chinese emperor's consort renowned for her miraculous fra…
