Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Focusing on the Pamirian Knot, this study explores the impact of imperial strategies and colonial boundary-making on the mountainous borderlands of Afghanistan, Pakistan, China, and Tajikistan. It highlights the ecological similarities and socio-economic differences among the Kirghiz and Wakhi communities across these nations. Through a historical lens, the book examines exploration, map-making, and the consequences of political interventions, revealing how borders shape identities and mobility in these regions. Fieldwork and archival research spanning over thirty years enrich the analysis.
