Asian History and Oriental History (br) kodansha Gendai Shinsho / In recent years, research on the Mongolian Empire has made great progress in both literature and archaeology, and the conventional image of "barbarity and cruelty" has to be drastically revised. In particular, the idea that "world history" was created only by the rapid expansion of information transmission and trade as a result of the unification of the Youla Shea world by nomads is becoming a common sense. Also, many people are beginning to understand that the world of nomads is a social system based on a completely different logic from sedentary farming, and that there can be no superiority or inferiority in it. In particular, it is noteworthy that women played an extremely important role. For example, The Secret History of the Mongolian Queens by Jacques Weatherford, an American cultural anthropologist published in 2010, was written by Westerners to overcome prejudice against nomads in Mongolia and the Youla Shea, and to break European centralism. It became a bestseller.
