The Baloch in Islamic Civilization, Western Ethnography, and World History

Our interest in the Baloch today is different from when we first studied them over a hundred years ago. None of the published work on the Baloch explains how or why they have changed. Each publication describes a situation rather than a process and provides no link to earlier or later situations. This article uses the published work and the writer's ethnographic experience to construct a historical framework that allows us to see the Baloch in a world-historical perspective, suggesting generalizations that are helpful for understanding events in the world today.
