These powerful, if competing, visions seek to make sense of Afghanistan and to render it legible. In this innovative examination, Nivi Manchanda uncovers and critically explores Anglophone practices of knowledge cultivation and representational strategies, and argues that Afghanistan occupies a distinctive place in the imperial imagination: over-determined and under-theorised, owing largely to the particular history of imperial intervention in the region. Focusing on representations of gender, state and tribes, Manchanda re-historicises and de-mythologises the study of Afghanistan through a sustained critique of colonial forms of knowing and demonstrates how the development of pervasive tropes in Western conceptions of Afghanistan have enabled Western intervention, invasion and bombing in the region from the nineteenth century to the present.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Weight: 387gAuthor: Nivi ManchandaGenre: HistoryTopic: Law & PoliticsItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 152mmItem Width: 14mmRelease Year: 2022 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
