Culture And Conquest In Mongol Eurasia by Thomas T. Allsen
Explores how the Mongol Empire’s conquests forged vast transcontinental networks that accelerated the movement of people, goods, and ideas, and explains the deliberate mechanisms—artisanal relocation, tribute, patronage, and administrative integration—used to appropriate and disseminate resources and knowledge. It portrays imperial elites as cultural brokers who selectively adopted and recombined traditions while maintaining steppe identities, reshaping art, science, cuisine, medicine, and governance across Eurasia. The result is a portrait of conquest intertwined with cosmopolitan exchange during the Pax Mongolica.
