https://isaw.nyu.edu/news/sogdians-and-panjikent-featured-in-archaeology-magazine
Although we must wait to hear Dr. Lurje’s insights about this remarkable eastern Iranian people, we can read about them in the July/August issue of Archaeology. In “A Silk Road Renaissance” Dr. Lurje talks about Panjikent and the art and culture enjoyed by its wealthy mercantile inhabitants; we can also learn about the more recently discovered smaller city-site of Hisorak, about 100 miles away, which, unlike Panjikent, survived the mid-eighth-century Muslim invasion for another 200 years. The article is well illustrated; I was pleased to be asked to contribute my two-dinars’ worth.No publisher2020/09/22 08:50:00 GMT-4News ItemLibrary

https://isaw.nyu.edu/events/archive/2019/melting-bowl-or-salad-pot
Human migration is and has always been an important component of settled life, impacting all sectors of society. Migration often occurs in the context of the exercise of power by large states and empires. While scholars of migration and ethnicity tend to focus on identity dynamics at the peripheries of such polities, the impact of migration on central heartland regions is potentially more ripe for exploration. Though expansionist actions directly impact borderlands, the resultant flow of migrants to heartlands creates an inter-ethnic hotbed. This phenomenon is problematized in the title of this conference via an intentional play on the terms “melting pot” and “salad bowl.” First used to describe social identity dynamics of migrants to the United States of America, the mixing of these metaphors accentuates the multiplicity of possible developments of identity that arise after immigration to the heartlands of powerful polities. Instead of insisting on a binary approach, this conference brings together expert scholars from multiple fields to explore the dynamics of ethnic identity in state and imperial heartlands in a variety of ancient, pre-modern, modern, and contemporary contexts, in order to investigate the gamut of historical and social developments that result from such migrations.No publisher2019/10/02 12:50:00 GMT-4EventISAW Library New Titles: November 2018
