Abstract

Chapter 24 defends a broader definition of the silk roads. The political appropriation of this term by the Chinese Communist Party can be rejected in favour of a more nuanced and multidisciplinary approach, which questions the chronology of Eurasian interactions and highlights the roles played by many regions. We conclude with a reflection on material cultural heritage and the challenges faced by museums as key institutions shaping our perception of the past.
