Opis

This book explores the unfolding of world history in a remote corner of Central Asia: the region of Badakhshan. It offers a comprehensive overview of the history of the Ismaili community in Tajikistan and analyses the ways in which expressions of political and religious authority have evolved and how they have been adapted to political contexts.
