The Vast Tales of Many Peoples - West and Central Asia
For AAPI Heritage Month 2024, Kirkwood Library's display pays homage to Asian-American, Asian, Native Hawai'ian, and Pacific Islander authors. We honor fiction and non-fiction literary works written by the indigenous, diasporic and displaced peoples of this heritage born or living in America, Hawai'i, or the Pacific Islands, as well as cultural accounts from their ancestral territories. A Brief Introduction to West and Central Asia: West Asia is home to several countries commonly thought of as the Middle East; including Iran, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Palestine, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Lebanon, Armenia, Turkey, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, the UAE, and Azerbaijan. Central Asia houses the countries also commonly known as the 'Stans': Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan. In this collection I have also included accounts of the Uyghur peoples, another distinct cultural group who reside in certain parts of Central Asia in addition to parts of Northwestern China. Curated by Library Associate Maya P as an installment within an ongoing CCC (Curated Cultural Collection) series.
