Narratives, Routes and Intersections in Pre-Modern Asia

Beschreibung

This book traces connections in pre-modern Asia by looking at different worlds across geography, history and society. It examines how regions were connected by people, families, trade, and politics as well as how they were maintained and remembered. The volume analyses these intersections of memory and narrative, of people and places, and the routes that took people to these places, using a variety of sources. It also studies whether these intersections remain in later and present times, and their larger impact on our understanding of history.
