Imagining Afghanistan : the history and politics of imperial knowledgeManchanda, NiviOver time and across different genres, Afghanistan has been presented to the world as potential ally, dangerous enemy, gendered space, and mysterious locale. These powerful, if competing, visions ... seek to make sense of Afghanistan and to render it legible. In this innovate 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.Type of material - book ; adult, seriousPublication and manufacture - Cambridge [etc.] : Cambridge University Press, 2020Language - englishISBN - 978-1-108-49123-5; 978-1-108-81176-7COBISS.SI-ID - 50058755
