A History of the Tajiks: Iranians of the East
Richard Foltz
In this comprehensive and up to date history, from prehistoric
proto-Indo-Iranian times to the post-Soviet period, Richard Foltz traces
the complex linguistic, cultural and political history of the Tajiks, a
Persian-speaking Iranian ethnic group from the modern-day Central Asian
states of Tajikistan, Afghanistan, and Uzbekistan. In eight chapters,
the author explores the revitalisation of Persian culture under the
Samanid Empire in the Tajik heartlands of historical Khorasan and
Transoxiana; analyses the evolution of the politics of Tajik identity;
and traces the history of the ethnic Tajik diaspora today.
