Publisher Description:
Cet ouvrage propose une approche interdisciplinaire de la question de l'islamisation de l'Asie centrale du milieu du VIIe siecle au XIe siecle. Il reunit des articles de specialistes de domaines tres divers, de la philologie a l'archeologie en passant par toutes les declinaisons de la methode historique, des champs iranologiques et turcologiques, pre-islamiques et islamiques. Islamisation est compris ici au sens global, et non pas principalement religieux, comme une serie de processus regionaux d'acculturation vers la culture musulmane medievale d'Asie centrale.
