Talk:Central Asian studies

Against the merging of Central Asian studies into Asian studies

I understand why at first it would make sense to merge all studies concerning the continent of Asia into Asian studies, but in reality it would be a very poor idea. Asian studies typically refers to studies about East Asia, that is China, Korea and Japan. There is token representation in Asian studies departments outside of the realm of East Asia. Also, in the United States where many of the departments are located, people from Central Asia would not even be considered "Asian", which in the United States exclusively refers to people from East Asia. In Britain "Asian" refers to people from South Asia, which further complicates things. In these cases political correctness has trumped geographical correctness. The only serious research being conducted at universities in the West about Central Asia are departments that specifically refer to themselves as "Central Asian" or "Central Eurasian Studies", not Asian Studies.

• Concur with above opinion, and strenuously object to any such merge. The article may be a stub now, but it has just as much importance as any of the other Asian studies articles, and as such, just as much purpose to be stand-alone. Aelfthrytha 21:19, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

@EdJohnston:

• "A considerable number of historical errors are contained in the monograph on the history, politics and societies of Central Asia. For example, the Samarkand region, which was part of the Turkestan Republic in 1920, was erroneously listed by one of the authors of the monograph as part of the Bukhara Republic."

• "The main problem of European scholars studying Central Asia is that some of them do not know local languages well. It is surprising that historians who do not understand the Arabic language and, accordingly, the texts of the Quran and Hadith claim that they are dealing with the issues of Islam in the region."

• "...nation-building process, and the development of Soviet cities."

• "They are based on different approaches and documentary bases. Each publication has its own merits, errors and misconceptions."unsourced information

• "After the collapse of the Soviet Union, great strides have been made in the study of the history, culture and anthropology of Central Asia.

• "A large amount of research is being done on Islam in the region.

I would like to see page number(s) and quote(s) for these paragraphs.--Kansas Bear (talk) 01:20, 16 September 2022 (UTC)
