The Bukharans

This scholarly account examines the Bukharans, the inhabitants of Bukhara, and how they dealt with both settled communities and nomadic groups. Its geographic reach runs from Muscovy to China and from Iran to India.

The author looks closely at the ruling dynasty, the state's domestic troubles and its foreign pressures. Trade routes, the regulation of coinage, and the khans' efforts to foster commerce also receive thorough treatment.
