Exploring how peoples and cultures mix in Asia Minor, this work traces long histories of travel, conquest, and settlement across the Taurus plateau and surrounding lands. It blends field observations with analysis of how nomadic and settled communities, tribes, and immigrant groups have shaped the region’s diverse population over centuries.
The author examines how ancient and medieval movements left lasting imprints on language, customs, and family lines, while also noting the changes brought by later empires and modern state policies. The narrative balances vivid geographic detail with thoughtful commentary on anthropology, mythology, and the long arc of population shifts in a crossroads region.
Ideal for readers interested in race, migration, and the complex history of Asia Minor.
