Powered by camel caravan, The Silk Road spurred one of the greatest trade and cultural exchanges in human history. Spanning 5,000 miles through desert and mountains, the Silk Road connected and shaped living histories from the Mediterranean to eastern China, carrying Islam far into the heartland of Buddhist Asia and creating a rich mosaic of cultural interplay. Given China's headlines today about wrestling with Tibet, what beyond oil is pulsing in China's northwestern deserts and mountains as China faces a Silk Road legacy in its largest province, one that is predominantly Muslim and culturally more akin to Central Asia than China? And what stirs in Central Asia itself, recently freed from the Soviet grip? Today's new Silk Road is alive and thriving as culture, religion, and economics dance in exciting and precarious ways.
