While many have emigrated to countries across the world, they have been matched by the flow of experts who arrive in Afghanistan after having been in other war-torn countries such as the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Palestine or East Timor. This book builds on more than two decades of ethnographic travels in some twenty countries, bringing the readers from Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran to Europe, North America and Australia. It describes the everyday life and transnational circulations of Afghan refugees and expatriates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003ePraise for the French edition:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“The book is fascinating, it is strong and well-argued and it is remarkably well written … Highlighting the tension between the transnationalism of the Afghan state and that of the Afghans in the world, Alessandro Monsutti develops a very convincing criticism of the universalist imposition of the international community up to family and individual lives.”\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e• Michel Agier\u003c\/strong\u003e, École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales and Institut de Recherche pour le Développement, Paris\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \tPreface\u003cbr\u003e \tAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e \tKey Dates\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 1.\u003c\/strong\u003e Reconstructing Afghanistan: Counterinsurgency and Colonial Imaginary\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 2.\u003c\/strong\u003e The State in All Its States: Elections and Democratization\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 3.\u003c\/strong\u003e Educating the Elites: From Geneva to Abu Dhabi\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 4.\u003c\/strong\u003e Rural Development: A Matter of Workshops\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 5.\u003c\/strong\u003e Village Life: Overlapping Solidarities and Conflicts\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 6.\u003c\/strong\u003e Neighbouring Countries: Equivocal Refuges\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 7.\u003c\/strong\u003e Across the Seas: Playing with Categories\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 8.\u003c\/strong\u003e Greece: The Filter of All Hopes\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 9.\u003c\/strong\u003e Europe, Mon Amour: Or the Ruses of Itinerancy\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 10.\u003c\/strong\u003e Contested Modernities: A Transnational Anthropology of the Political\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eConclusion\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \tReferences\u003cbr\u003e \tIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Berghahn Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042814984535,"sku":"9781805391319","price":22.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781805391319.jpg?v=1750955760","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/homo-itinerans-towards-a-global-ethnography-of-afghanistan-9781805391319","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
