Description: This book examines key inland areas around the world to show how interior regions have shaped global history.
Review Quotes: The contributors of Inlands offer readers variations on traditional global narratives that tend to sweep across oceans and coastlines. Through compelling arguments, this timely compilation reshapes beliefs of inlands as isolated and astutely reveals how the complex contours of the peoples, events, and places found in continental interiors are anchors for consequential connections made throughout global histories.--Elaine Marie Nelson, University of Kansas
