Excerpt from The Turks of Central Asia in History and at the Present Day: An Ethnological Inquiry Into the Pan-Turanian Problem, and Bibliographical Material Relating to the Early Turks and the Present Turks of Central Asia
The term 'turan', from which Turanian is derived, is so Asiatic that we do not find it in the Greek authors, though the fact that it occurs in the Avesta in the form Tura points to its ancient origin.

Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex history and ethnology of the Turkic-speaking peoples of Central Asia. The author expertly navigates the political landscape of the early 20th century, where the Pan-Turanian movement, a German-backed campaign for Turkish dominance across vast swaths of Central Asia, was gaining momentum. The author explores this movementââ â¢s motivations and its inherent contradictions, particularly in light of the diversity of Turkic groups, their languages, and their cultures. The book delves deep into the roots of these differences, using a comprehensive analysis of various Turkic groups, their historical migrations, and their distinct religious practices. The author, for instance, examines the differences between the ââ Å"Iranianââ  and ââ Å"Turanianââ  Turks, highlighting how Persian, Arabian, and even European influences have shaped certain groups while others, more insulated geographically, have retained a more ââ Å"Turanianââ  cultural identity. The author also examines the role of religion, exploring the various Turkic interpretations of Islam and its interplay with pre-existing animistic beliefs, particularly in the practice of Shamanism. The book offers a fascinating look at the ancient origins and complexities of Shamanism, highlighting its enduring presence in Central Asian cultural practices. The book ultimately illuminates the historical and cultural complexities of Central Asiaââ â¢s Turkic peoples, dispelling simplistic assumptions and revealing a rich tapestry of linguistic, religious, and ethnic diversity. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
