The Hazaras of Afghanistan: An Historical, Cultural, Economic and Political
152,63 €
This is a study of the second largest but least well-known ethnic groups in Afghanistan. Largely Shi'ia by religion and Farsi-speaking, they traditionally inhabited Central Afghanistan although now because of the war they are scattered across the country and also in neighbouring countries in large numbers. The Hazaras have recently come into a more influential position within the country's social fabric because its tribally based pyramidal structure has been disrupted. This book, therefore, makes a unique contribution in Afghanistan studies. It also directly confronts the taboo subject of an Afghan sense of national identity, a concept crucial to the resolution of Afghanistan's current crisis.
