First sentence: This book is about some developments in the history of a distinctive culture that arose, flourished for several hundred years, and then seemed to fade in early modern times as European influences were imposed upon it; however, recently it has been the culture to which contemporary Muslims of inland Asia have turned for inspiration and the expressive means to represent their interests.
