En savoir plus sur le livre

This publication continues the volume, The Baloch and Their Neighbours (Reichert Verlag 2003; special set of these two volumes now available). Throughout history, Balochistan has been an important contact zone between the Indian Subcontinent and the Iranian Plateau. Today Balochistan is a land divided among several states. It is a region where a variety of languages intermingle, different religions jostle for attention, and traditional ways of living are challenged by modernity. The papers in this volume explore Balochistan's linguistic, socio-political and cultural diversity. Some take a historical perspective, and others examine the dramatic developments now shaping the region.
