Yet these debates have often been piecemeal, ahistorical and centred in western logics, interests and concerns. This volume provides a new, critical compilation of scholarly contributions from emerging and established Afghan and international scholars that defy these trends.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe volume targets a new generation of students and scholars of Afghanistan- a generation looking critically and retrospectively at the longest military intervention in US history. This is a readership well-attuned to the complexities of the Afghan context and the dilemmas of international engagement more broadly. Beyond criticism of a failed intervention and the often reductive analytical tools that have been used to assess it, the chapters in this collection provide novel epistemological approaches to conceptions of power and authority in Afghanistan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBreaking new ground, Power and Authority gives voice to and consolidates in one volume the first generation of influential Afghan scholars to emerge after forty years and offers them the opportunity to speak with (and back to) those who have come before. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anna Larson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0755647483\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780755647484\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 02\/20\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.37lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.75d","brand":"Anna Larson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46795509039359,"sku":"9780755647484","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3ad13411-2940-4082-87be-edd0e395fa96.jpg?v=1744947823","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/power-and-authority-in-aghanistan-anna-larson-9780755647484","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
