SUMMARY:The Persianate World: The Frontiers of a Eurasian Lingua Franca
DESCRIPTION:–book talk by Nile Green (UCLA)\n\nCo-sponsored by UCLA Progr
 am on Central Asia\, Center for 17th- &amp\; 18th-Century Studies\, Pourda
 voud Center for the Study of the Iranian World\, William Andrews Clark Mem
 orial Library \n\nDiscussants:\nAhmad Karimi-Hakkak\, UCLA\nArash Khazeni
 \, Pomona College\nLaura Mitchell\, UC Irvine\n\nPersian is one of the gre
 at lingua francas of world history. Yet despite its recognition as a share
 d language across the Islamic world and beyond\, its scope\, impact\, and 
 mechanisms remain underexplored. A world historical inquiry into pre-moder
 n cosmopolitanism\, The Persianate World traces the reach and limits of 
 Persian as a Eurasian language in a comprehensive survey of its geographic
 al\, literary\, and social frontiers. From Siberia to Southeast Asia\, and
  between London and Beijing\, this book shows how Persian gained\, maintai
 ned\, and finally surrendered its status to imperial and vernacular compet
 itors. Fourteen essays trace Persian’s interactions with Bengali\, Chine
 se\, Turkic\, Punjabi\, and other languages to identify the forces that ex
 tended “Persographia\,” the domain of written Persian. Spanning the ag
 es expansion and contraction\, The Persianate World offers a critical su
 rvey of both the supports and constraints of one of history’s key langua
 ges of global exchange.\n\nNile Green holds the Ibn Khaldun Endowed Chair 
 in World History at the University of California\, Los Angeles. He is the 
 author of Sufism: A Global History and Terrains of Exchange: Religious 
 Economies of Global Islam and editor of Afghanistan’s Islam: From Conv
 ersion to the Taliban. He was founding director of the UCLA Program on Cen
 tral Asia from 2008 through 2016.\n\nCopies of The Persianate World: The 
 Frontiers of a Eurasian Lingua Franca (University of California Press\, 20
 19) will be available for purchase at the event.\n\nA reception will immed
 iately follow the program.\n\nPlease RSVP here: https://international.ucla
