[edit] HISTORICAL DICTIONARY OF TAJIKISTAN
A dictionary of Tajikstan. It focuses on the modern and contemporary periods, but the chronology begins in much earlier times. Entries cover significant persons, places and events, institutions and ethnic groups, as well as various political, economic, social and cultural features.
At the end of 1991, the collapse of the Soviet Union transformed the fifteen republics of that union into independent states with various capabilities for survival. Among the new Central Asian republics was Tajikistan, the smallest, weakest and poorest of the group. Independence came almost as a surprise to a country unprepared for self government--a bad surprise in some ways, even if good in others. The result was a long civil war and lasting identity crisis. The focus of this dictionary is on the modern and contemporary periods, but the chronology begins in much earlier times and traces the region's history to date. Entries cover significant persons, places and events, institutions, and ethnic groups, as well as various political, economic, social and cultural features. Particularly helpful to the reader, the introduction amplifies points in the text, providing a broad view. An essential and handy reference work, this dictionary will appeal to the librarian, scholar and student.
