{"product_id":"photo-peshawar-sean-foley-9789385360466","title":"Photo Peshawar","description":"Photo Peshawar delves into the largely unexplored culture of photography in the Pakistani frontier city of Peshawar from the 1940s to the present day. Photography in Peshawar has historically and culturally found itself caught between the creative and conservative forces of both India and Afghanistan. Variously borne of British rule, the Partition of India, war in neighboring Afghanistan, the rise of the Taliban, local tribal law, a historical prohibition on image-making in Islam, the practice of purdah (the veiling of females in public), and the regional movie industry, there is a tangible stress between the practice of photography as it is pursued and the culture in which it is lived. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith nearly hundred and fifty photographs, each more stunning than the earlier, 'photography as craft is what this splendid volume examines--photography at the living, bleeding intersection of culture, war, frontier and fantasy, the sheer human inventiveness that results from a magnificent and tragic brew of technology and history.' \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePublished in association with PIX Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sean Foley, Lukas Birk\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9385360469\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789385360466\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mapin Publishing Pvt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 6.20w x 0.90d","brand":"Sean Foley","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46431411306751,"sku":"9789385360466","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_19014353-2940-4b8a-8922-1146cb0114aa.jpg?v=1735141241","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/photo-peshawar-sean-foley-9789385360466","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
