Asia Studies

The Asia Studies list covers the continent from China to Kazakhstan, including everything from the empires of the Indian subcontinent to the silk roads of central Asia. Titles explore the depth and breadth of philosophies, religions, histories, cultures, politics, literatures and diasporas arising from this part of the globe; from some of the world’s oldest civilizations to the present day.
