Literary License and the West's Romance with Afghanistan

This book analyzes the role literature and poetic sensibility played in colonial British and American writings on Afghanistan from the nineteenth through the twenty-first centuries, ending with Afghan immigrant authors, who adapt colonial myths as anti-colonial strategy, and post US-War authors, who more fundamentally re-imagine old narratives.
