"Encyclopedia of the Peoples of Asia and Oceania" is a new two-volume A-to-Z reference to the peoples of the Asia-Pacific region east of the Caspian Sea, not including the countries of the Middle East. More than 400 entries cover the major peoples that for a time maintained a cultural identity in the area - from ancient to modern times - describing their history, migration, culture, belief system, social organization, and relationship to other peoples. This accessible resource makes it easy for readers to find entries both on specific peoples and nationalities as a whole, describing who they are today and providing cross-references to the various related ancestral groups.
