BARFIELD The book is written by anthropologists, historians, and archaeologists specializing in nomadic studies. All the chapters presented here discuss various aspects of one significant problem: how could small nomadic peoples at the outskirts of agricultural civilizations subjugate vast territories between the Mediterranean and the Pacific? What was the impetus that set in motion the overwhelming forces of the nomads which made tremble the royal courts of Europe and Asia? Was it an outcome of any predictable historical process or a result of a chain of random events? A wide sample of nomadic peoples is discussed, mainly on the basis of new data.

Barfield 172 List of Contributors 180 iii PREFACE In the year 2000 an important international conference "Hierarchy and Power in the History of Civilizations" was held in Moscow. The Conference brought together many scholars from different countries1. A great variety of problems ranging from sociobiological preconditions for the relations of dominance to power mechanisms in the post-Soviet states was discussed. Among the Conference panels there was one titled "Hierarchy and Power in Nomadic Societies" (convened by Prof. Nikolay Kradin). Over twenty scholars from France, Russia, Ukraine, and the USA participated in its work. It is well known that the majority of the nomadology theoretical issues including those of the nomadic sociopolitical organization, have not got final solutions up to now. At present there are many theories which interpret characteristic features of nomadic pastoralists differently. Could nomads overcome the threshold of statehood independently and if yes, how such societies should be defined? Why the economic basis of nomadism has changed so slightly in millennia while the political organization is changing constantly from acephalous tribes and chiefdoms to "nomadic empires"? What do nomadic sociopolitical institutions have and do not have in common with such notions typical for sedentary agricultural societies as the state, class, property, feudalism? All these questions were raised once and again during the Conference. The approaches demonstrated in the papers and subsequent discussions turned out so interesting and important that it was decided to publish the panel’s Proceedings as a separate volume in two languages, Russian and English. It was also decided to broaden the list of contributors by inviting several top specialists in the subject. Unfortunately, not all of them were able to accept the invitation. Besides, there are some differences between the Russian and English versions of the volume. The contributors were requested to concentrate on the following topics: (1) Theories of historical process and nomadism; (2) The typology of Eurasian complex nomadic societies (tribal unions, chiefdoms, empires, etc.); (3) The structure of power and authority in nomadic societies; (4) Types and models of leadership in nomadic societies; (5) Egalitarism and inequality in nomadic societies; (6) Relations between nomads and agriculturalists. Let the reader judge what has resulted of all this. 1 See the Conference report in Anthropology Today 2000, Vol. 16, No 6, p.23-24. iv We hope that this work will find a reflection in colleagues’ publications. We also believe that it will promote further discussions of significant problems of nomadology, a study of the nomadism’s place in the world historical process and of evolutionary processes in different social and natural environment milieu. Just this is the theoretical context of our volume. Thomas Barfield Dmitri Bondarenko Nikolay Kradin v 1 INTRODUCTION: SOCIAL EVOLUTION, ALTERNATIVES, AND NOMADISM Dmitri M. Bondarenko, Andrey V. Korotayev, and Nikolay N. Kradin In the modern social sciences and history, there are four groups of theories which variously explain basic principles of origin, further change and, sometimes, collapse of the complex human systems. The first of them are various unilinear theories of development or evolution (Marxism, neoevolutionism, modernization theories etc.). They show how the humanity has evolved from local groups of primitive hunters-gatherings to the modern post-industrial world society. The second ones are theories of civilizations. The proponents of these theories argue that there is no unified world history. Rather there are separate clusters of cultural activity that constitute different civilizations. The civilizations, like living organisms, are born, live and die (Spengler 1918; Toynbee 1934). The world-systems perspective and multilinear theories of social evolution are intermediate between these poles. The world-system approach (Wallerstein 1974; Chase-Dunn and Hall 1997; Sanderson 1999), like unilinear theories of development distinguish three models of society: mini- systems, world-empires and world-economies. But they are considered in space rather than in time. This makes the conceptualization of history more complete. The modern multilinear theories (Bondarenko and Korotayev 2000; Korotayev, Kradin, de Munk, Lynsha 2000) suppose that there are several possible paths of socio-political transformation. Some of these can lead to complexity, e.g. from a chiefdom to a true state; while others suppose the existence of the supercomplex community without a bureaucracy (e.g. 1 Greek poleis); while a third group preserves the tribal system under particular ecological conditions. In fact, the point here is that different dimensions of world history unfold on several planes at one time. Every dimension reflects corresponding parameters of the social systems’ activities on its co-ordinate net. However, none of the enumerated paradigms completely reflects the studied phenomenon’s specificity. The principal of complementarity once formulated by the Physicist Nils Bohr presupposes that these theories can explain a natural phenomenon only in the aggregate. It is very important to note at this point that even opposite theories may not exclude each other but rather reflect important structural parameters of the studied object. This book mainly deals with the multilinear evolutionist interpretation of the historical process. In the majority of chapters the world of nomads is

  • 'Neglected African Diaspora' of the Post-Communist Space
    Pécs Journal of International and European Law - 2019/I-II. In Need of an Extended Research Approach: The Case of the ‘Neglected African Diaspora’ of the Post-Communist Space István Tarrósy1 Associate Professor This paper seeks to extend the academic discussion and research of the global African diaspora by drawing attention to Africans living in post-Communist spaces. So far, both literature and for- eign policies of countries of the former Eastern Bloc hardly ever made mention of this ‘neglected diaspora’. First, the paper underscores the relevance of specific research connected with African communities across Central and Eastern Europe, as well as present-day Russia. Second, it intro- duces the history, motivations, background and contemporary situation of the marginal but grow- ing African population in Hungary. It will show how finally the Hungarian government implements a pragmatic foreign policy (partly) on Africa and African development co-operation. In this effort, it considers Africans who either had obtained a university degree before 1989 at a Hungarian uni- versity, or came to the country during the democratic rule, as true bridges: they can foster newly defined relations. The place, role and potentials of these African migrants in the unique Hungar- ian migration environment will also be discussed. Increased illegal migration flows towards the European Union via the Serbian–Hungarian border region of the Schengen Zone in the first half of 2015 and the policies the Hungarian government introduced in the wake of this unprecedented push makes the discussion even more topical, in particular, as of early April 2019, a government “Africa Strategy” was also published.

  • Soviet Central Asia and the Preservation of History
    humanities Article Soviet Central Asia and the Preservation of History Craig Benjamin Frederik J Meijer Honors College, Grand Valley State University, Allendale, MI 49401, USA; [email protected] Received: 23 May 2018; Accepted: 9 July 2018; Published: 20 July 2018 Abstract: Central Asia has one of the deepest and richest histories of any region on the planet. First settled some 6500 years ago by oasis-based farming communities, the deserts, steppe and mountains of Central Asia were subsequently home to many pastoral nomadic confederations, and also to large scale complex societies such as the Oxus Civilization and the Parthian and Kushan Empires. Central Asia also functioned as the major hub for trans-Eurasian trade and exchange networks during three distinct Silk Roads eras. Throughout much of the second millennium of the Common Era, then under the control of a succession of Turkic and Persian Islamic dynasties, already impressive trading cities such as Bukhara and Samarkand were further adorned with superb madrassas and mosques. Many of these suffered destruction at the hands of the Mongols in the 13th century, but Timur and his Timurid successors rebuilt the cities and added numerous impressive buildings during the late-14th and early-15th centuries. Further superb buildings were added to these cities by the Shaybanids during the 16th century, yet thereafter neglect by subsequent rulers, and the drying up of Silk Roads trade, meant that, by the mid-18th century when expansive Tsarist Russia began to incorporate these regions into its empire, many of the great pre- and post-Islamic buildings of Central Asia had fallen into ruin.

Across multiple migrations and settlements from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries, the Volga Germans’ self- constructed group identity served historically as a tool with which to navigate uncertain politics of belonging.

  • Research Article the Language of the Aral Sea Peoples
    January 2021 e-ISSN: 1857-8187 p-ISSN: 1857-8179 Research Article Sociolinguistics ETHNOGRAPHISMS IN THE LEXICON OF UZBEK DIALECTS IN Keywords: ethnolinguistics, ethnography, dialect, ethnogenesis, Aramaic script, REPUBLIC OF KARAKALPAKSTAN Khorezmian language. Nurjanov Oybek Erkin ogli Teacher of Karakalpak State University. City Nukus, Uzbekistan. Abstract This article deals with the ethnography of words in the lexicon of the population of Karakalpakstan formed in ethnolinguistic conditions. In particular, in the ethnolinguistic context of the language of the peoples of the Aral Sea, the main source of ethnography in the region is the clash of different nations and cultures. The ethnogenesis of these peoples (Karakalpak, Uzbek, Turkmen) dates back to antiquity, the history of which is still unclear. In addition, this complex ethno-linguistic process in the Khorezm oasis has left its mark on the language of Khorezmians and modern Khorezm peoples described in detail on the basis of examples. Also, after the settlement of the Karakalpaks in the lower reaches of the Amu Darya, the Kazakhs and small Juz Kazakhs lived in the area together. It is argued that the existence of grammatical similarities has attracted the attention of many linguists. The language of the Aral Sea peoples was formed in a very complex ethnolinguistic context. Because different peoples and cultures clash in this region. Linguists who have studied the linguistic features of the region have noted that the study of the region in terms of its linguistic features poses a number of historical linguistic problems. One of the most important of these problems is the history of the formation of these dialects and their relationship with other ethnic groups that are genetically part of the Uzbek people.

  • The Last Khan of the Siberian Land the History of Downfall of the Khanate Of
    The last khan of the Siberian land The history of downfall of the Khanate of Sibir is one of the most littlestudied pages in this state’s history. The Khanate of Sibir emerged over the course of the Juchid state collapse; in different forms it existed over the 15th-16th centuries. The history of Western Siberia (Siberian jurt) has passed several stages, related to the given region peculiarities. In the 1220s Western Siberia was conquered by Juchi khan and consequently it entered his state. These lands had been divided between different branches of Juchi descendants. At the period of final disintegration of Juchid Empire in the end of the 14th - beginning of the 15th century, the lands of Western Siberia were mostly under power of several semi-independent Shaybanid rulers. In 1428-1432 one of those rulers Abu’l-Khayr Khan managed to unite all these territories under his power and established an independent state with its centre in Chimgi-Tura (in history this state became known as Uzbek khanate or the state of nomadic Uzbeks). In 1446-1448 the centre of this state formation moved to the south, to the area of Sygnak on Syr Darya, and the first independent state formation, Syberian Shaybanid state, got founded on lands of Western Siberia. Siberian Shaybanid khanate reached its zenith under Saeid Ibrakhim Khan (second half of the 15th century). His death (around 1494) led to the state’s rapid decay. Eventually, the state of Siberian Shaybanids ceased to exist in the end of the first decade of the 16th century.

Panels are expected to consist of four to five papers, with a chair and a discussant. Larger panels may be accommodated over more than one session. At this stage the Steering Committee invites potential panel organisers to provide a title and some of the names of participants to be considered for inclusion in the programme.

As for which befell all men generally, and the Muslims in particular; so that, should 0e say their religion, the‟ worship the sun when it arises, and regard nothing as unlawful, that the world, since God Almighty created Adam until now, hath not been afflicted for the; eat all beasts, even dogs, pigs, and the like; nor do they recognise the with the like thereof, he would but speak the truth.
