About the Naimans of Central Asia

"About the Naimans of Central Asia" is a scholarly book that focuses on the ethnogenetic development of the Naimans, an ethnic group in Central Asia. The author, Gulmira Bilyalova, analyzes the history of the Proto-Turkic and Turkic tribes that played a role in the early state formations of Central Asia. By comparing medieval historical chronicles with modern scientific research, the genealogy of the Naimans is illuminated from the time of the Uyghur Khaganate to the Shagatayid state. The systematic presentation of the historical material, which is diverse in content and interpreted in various ways, allows for an accurate depiction of the history and role of the Naimans during the early and late medieval periods. This book offers a well-founded scholarly perspective on a often overlooked topic in Central Asian history.
