内容简介

This book analyzes how Central Asians actively engaged with the rapidly globalizing world of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. In presenting the first English-language history of the Khanate of Khoqand (1709–1876), Scott C. Levi examines the rise of that extraordinarily dynamic state in the Ferghana Valley. Levi reveals the many ways in which the Khanate’s integration with globalizing forces shaped political, economic, demographic, and environmental developments in the region, and he illustrates how these same forces contributed to the downfall of Khoqand.

To demonstrate the major historical significance of this vibrant state and region, too often relegated to the periphery of early modern Eurasian history , Levi applies a “connected history” methodology showing in great detail how Central Asians actively influenced policies among their larger imperial neighbors—notably tsarist Russia and Qing China. This original study will appeal to a wide interdisciplinary audience, including scholars and students of Central Asian, Russian, Middle Eastern, Chinese, and world history, as well as the study of comparative empire and the history of globalization.

    出书晚的下场就是这样,本应该能搞个大新闻,但是写的相当不得劲儿。每章都必须对话、引用金光明和laura newby的两本书,这是由于无论是新材料还是全球史视角,都被人家基本做完了。非常同情了~02-18

    对普通读者,是一本非常好的普及中亚历史的书。但几乎没有对主要文献(primary source)的研究。听说Levi教授在写一本关于Bukhara的书,希望能看到更多涉及到primary source的内容。10-15

    作为现有的第二部英文浩罕通史,内容还是可以的说(虽然希尔.阿里汗之后的部分写得连流水账都不如。。。)最大的问题就是史料运用不充分,例如在记述1842-1853年间浩罕历史时居然都不用《胜利之镜》《费尔干纳汗王史》《胡达雅尔汗史》和《胡达雅尔汗胜利纪》这四部编年史的。。。10-22
