Book Review

Mongols, Turks, and Others: Eurasian Nomads and the Sedentary World. Edited by REUVEN AMITAI and MICHAL BIRAN. Leiden: Brill, 2005. 550 pp. $147.00 (cloth).

This is the eleventh installment of Brill's Inner Asian Library, which is edited by noted Eurasian scholars Nicola Di Cosmo (Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton University), Devin DeWeese (Department of Central Eurasian Studies, Indiana University), and Caroline Humphrey (Centre of South Asian Studies, University of Cambridge). The collection already includes a number of significant titles, including Brian G. Williams's The Crimean Tatars: The Diaspora Experience and the Forging of a Nation (2001) and Igor de Rachewiltz's The Secret History of the Mongols: A Mongolian Epic Chronicle of the Thirteenth Century (2003). This volume is dedicated to the memory of the distinguished Mongol scholar David Ayalon (d. 1998) and is based on a series of papers presented by a grouping of Ayalon's former students at a June 2000 conference on Eurasian nomads and the outside world. Taken from this gathering held at the Institute of Advanced Studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, this ambitious work seeks to understand the role of nomadic peoples and sedentary peoples in Eurasia, particularly among and between pastoral Mongols and Turks, from ancient times to the present.
