Beyond the Silk Roads
Small-scale traders play a crucial role in forging Asian connectivity,
forming networks and informal institutions separate from those driven
by nation states, such as China’s Belt and Road Initiative. This ambitious study provides a unique insight into the lives of the mobile traders
from Afghanistan who traverse Eurasia. Reflecting on over a decade of
intensive ethnographic fieldwork, Magnus Marsden introduces readers
to a dynamic yet historically durable universe of commercial and cultural
connections.
