SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Xiongnu: The World's First Nomadic Empire by Bryan Miller
DESCRIPTION:Join us to celebrate Professor Miller's new book\, \"Xiongnu: The World's Nomadic Empire.\"\nXiongnu raises the case of the world's first nomadic empire as a prime example of the sophisticated developments and powerful influence of nomadic regimes. By weaving together archaeological examinations with historical investigations\, the book presents a more complex and nuanced narrative of how an empire based firmly in the steppe over two thousand years ago managed to formulate a robust political economy and a complex political matrix that capitalized on mobilities and alternative forms of political participation\, and allowed the Xiongnu to dominate vast realms of central Eurasia and leave lasting geopolitical effects on the many worlds around them.
