Join us to learn more about Uzbekistan’s changing political and social landscape through “Silk Mirage: Through the Looking Glass in Uzbekistan” by Joanna Lillis, Bloomsbury, in conversation with Dr Frank Maracchione, SOAS University of London.

The book offers a compelling portrait of Uzbekistan, a country shaped by its Silk Road heritage and now navigating tensions between reform and reaction, with important implications for the future of Central Asia.
