- Synopsis
- This discussion of colonialism in nineteenth century Afghanistan examines the economic development of the urban centers of Kabul, Peshawar and Qandahar and their relations among themselves and the surrounding rural countryside. Hanifi, a professor of history at James Madison University, argues that the seeming independence of Afghanistan from British colonial control, embodied in the defeat of English military incursions in the 1840s and 1870s, was in fact an illusion, and that economic imperialism in the form of market ties with British India represented some measure of de facto colonial control. The work includes several tables and numerous black and white photographs and reproductions of historical illustrations and documents. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc. , Portland, OR (booknews. com)
