This course is the continuation of HIST111 (History of Turks I) and a survey on the history of the Turks from their conversion to Islam to the end of the Mongol period with an emphasis on continuity and change in pre-Islamic traditions. The main objective of this survey is to familiarize you with political, social, economic and cultural history of the Turkic-Moslem states in Transoxiana and Iran with an emphasis on historiography. After building a basis of knowledge of governmental institutions of the Karakhanids, Ghaznavids, Seljukids and Mongols within the wider context of the medieval eastern Islamic world, the course will approach the encounters and interactions between Turkic, Mongolian and Iranian societies from a variety of angles.
