The Emergence of Modern Afghanistan
Politics of Reform and Modernization, 1880-1946
Vartan Gregorian
"Tracing the evolution of modern Afghanistan from 1880 to World War II, this seminal work analyzes the politics of reform and modernization. The author offers a new introduction that contextualizes key themes in contemporary events, addressing issues of tribalism, nationalism, Islam, and modernization. This book is the only work on Afghan history that considers ethnicity as the defining influence, rather than religion. A must-read for those interested in Afghan nationalism and the ongoing struggle for a coherent national identity."
