Looking at issues from violence under the Taliban and the impact of 9\/11 to the role of NGOs and the growth in the opium economy, Rostami-Povey gets behind the media hype and presents a vibrant and diverse picture of these women's lives. The future of women's rights in Afghanistan, she argues, depends not only on overcoming local male domination, but also on challenging imperial domination and blurring the growing divide between the West and the Muslim world. Ultimately, these global dynamics may pose a greater threat to the freedom and autonomy of women in Afghanistan and throughout the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elaheh Rostami-Povey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1842778560\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781842778562\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.46h x 5.53w x 0.40d","brand":"Elaheh Rostami-Povey","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43938913026303,"sku":"9781842778562","price":47.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_0dad3463-7a0c-430f-9166-2b55302584c5.jpg?v=1681438412","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/afghan-women-elaheh-rostami-povey-9781842778562","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
