"In this comprehensive and up to date history, from prehistoric proto-Indo-Iranian
times to the post-Soviet period, Richard Foltz traces the complex linguistic, cultural
and political history of the Tajiks, a Persian-speaking Iranian ethnic group from
the modern-day Central Asian states of Tajikistan, Afghanistan, and Uzbekistan. In
eight chapters, the author explores the revitalisation of Persian culture under the
Samanid Empire in the Tajik heartlands of historical Khorasan and Transoxiana; analyses
the evolution of the politics of Tajik identity; and traces the history of the ethnic
Tajik diaspora today. This revised edition includes a new chapter on the Tajiks' situation
in Tajikistan, Afghanistan and Uzbekistan since 2018, covering notably the effects
of the Taliban's return to power in August 2021 and the COVID pandemic in all three
countries, as well as border clashes with KyrgyzstanIn this comprehensive and up to
