工作),使用起来很困难。大部分信息是从其他来源获取的,并经过确认,但很少关心上下文的变化。事实上,作者似乎只是“从 1955 年至 1959 年间在伦敦大学的研究生工作开始,经过数十年的研究”(pxv)积累了有关俾路支省的信息,根据传统的知识分类对其进行了组织,并将其发送给了一家不会太仔细研究的出版商。它没有表现出独创性或独立思考的证据。例如,他重复了俾路支斯坦的常见现代描述,即“位于巴基斯坦西部边境”(第十五页),尽管它占据了该国 40% 以上的面积。他认为有必要“了解俾路支人在这种恶劣的自然环境中为生存而奋斗了 5000 年的根深蒂固的记忆”(第 14 页),但大多数学者认为俾路支人在中世纪时期抵达该地区,并且农业定居点在他们抵达之前的更大经济中可能比之后更重要 - 例如,参见《伊朗百科全书》中有关俾路支省的文章中的参考文献。西迪奇根本没有给人留下任何关于自然条件和基本经济的巨大差异的印象,更不用说文化和语言了,他写的是“俾路支种族”(第18页)。
work), it is difficult to use. Much of the information is taken from other sources, with acknowledgment, but with little concern for the change of context. In fact, the author appears simply to have accumulated information on Baluchistan "over decades of study, beginning with graduate work at the University of London between 1955 and 1959" (pxv), organized it according to a conventional classification of knowledge, and sent it to a publisher who would not look too closely into it. It shows no originality or evidence of independent thinking. For example, he repeats the common modern characterization of Baluchistan as "lying on the western borderlands of Pakistan" (p. xv), even though it occupies over 40 percent of the country. He considers it necessary "to understand the Baluchis' ingrained memories of 5,000 years of struggle for survival in this harsh physical environment" (p. 14), yet most scholars consider that the Baluch arrived in the area during the medieval period and that agricultural settlement was probably more important in the larger economy prior to their arrival than since—see, for example, the references in the articles on Baluchistan in the Encyclopaedia Iranka. Far from giving any impression of the great variation in natural conditions and basic economy, let alone culture and language, Siddiqi writes about "the Baluch race" (p. 18).
