What is Along the Silk Road?

Along the Silk Road is an online magazine dedicated to exploring the rich and varied histories of the regions stretching across the many reaches of the famed Silk Road. For us, the Silk Road serves as a geographical point of departure, not a limitation in subject matter. With a strong focus on Asia, the initiative seeks to offer a thoughtful counterbalance to the Western-centric narratives that dominate most popular history publications. We offer a place to stories from across the entire Asian continent—from the Anatolian plains and the Nile Delta to the Japanese archipelago—highlighting the depth and diversity of a world too often overlooked.
