The School of Sciences and Humanities is proud to announce the recent publication of an anthology by our esteemed Professor Gabriel McGuire. His latest work, “Tulips in Bloom: An Anthology of Modern Central Asian Literature”, was published in 2024 by Springer Nature. This remarkable collection can be accessed here.
Together with colleagues Christ Fort, Naomi Caffee, Emily Laskin, Samuel Hodgkin, and Ali Igmen in the fields of Literature and History, Pr. McGuire edited a collection of original English-language translations of a wide variety of Central Asian literature. The volume contains work from multiple languages over a wide inclusive geographic region of Eurasia organized with reference to genre and era over the past centuries, and also includes a section of contemporary literature. This collection represents an immense amount of work and collective effort, and marks a very significant contribution to the field of Central Asian studies in providing a wealth of texts and teaching materials for future generations of scholars around the world.
We are also delighted to recognize the contributions of additional faculty and students from the School of Sciences and Humanities to this landmark project. Professor Meiramgul Kussainova (Kazakh Language and Turkic Studies) and Professor Eva-Marie Dubuisson (Languages, Linguistics, and Literature) provided expert translations, along with Madina Mussagazina, a student in the Master of Arts in Eurasian Studies (MAES) program, who worked on oral literature translations.
This publication is a testament to the collaborative spirit and dedication of our faculty and students, showcasing their commitment to advancing the understanding of Central Asian literature and culture.
Congratulations to Professor Gabriel McGuire and all contributors to this extraordinary achievement!
