Afghanistan in Ink

Afghanistan in Ink


en Limba Engleză Hardback – 17 feb 2013
Afghanistan In Ink uses a wide and largely unknown corpus of twentieth century Afghan Dari and Pashto literature to show not only how Afghans have reflected on their modern history, but also how the state has repeatedly sought to dominate the ideological contours of that history through the patronage or exile of writers.

Recenzii

'Few countries have been as poorly imagined - or exposed to parochial strategists and commentators - as Afghanistan. Excavating and examining previously unknown Afghan literary texts and authors, this wonderfully timely and stimulating book radically deepens our sense of the country's history and culture.' - Pankaj Mishra, author of From the Ruins of Empire: The Revolt Against the West and the Remaking of Asia 'Afghanistan in Ink demolishes the myth that the country has remained isolated from the the currents of international cultural influences. For more than a century powerful connections to an influential intellectual diaspora have played a significant role in the development of Afghan literature and language politics - and one that continues to the present day.' - Thomas Barfield, Professor of Anthropology at Boston University and author of Afghanistan: A Cultural and Political History 'An extremely absorbing collection of essays: not only does this book take the reader deep into the literature of Afghanistan over the last few centuries, but it explores fruitful questions about the ways in which literature and language, state-formation, ethnic identity, and history are intertwined. Highly informative and though-provoking.' - Tamim Ansary, author of Games Without Rules, The Often Interrupted Story of Afghanistan
