Afghan Rumour Bazaar: Secret Sub-Cultures, Hidden Worlds and the Everyday Life o

Description: Afghan Rumour Bazaar by Nushin Arbabzadah Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Representing the coming of age of a new generation of unashamedly globalised, open-minded and irreverent Afghans, the reportage in this book belongs to one of the most original Afghan voices heard since the toppling of the Taliban. Publisher Description Ironic and humorous, witty and self-deprecatory, The Afghan Rumour Bazaar reveals the quotidian absurdities of lives framed against the backdrop of a savage war. Offering daringly new perspectives on a country readers may erroneously assume they know, Nushin Arbabzadah delves into the unacknowledged but real secret sub-cultures and hidden worlds of Afghans, from underground converts to Christianity to mysterious male cross-dressers to tales of bacha-posh girlboys. Among the individuals, fables and dilemmas she confronts are Why are Imams Telling Us About Nail Polish?, Afghanistans Rich Jewish Heritage, Kabul Street Style, The Resurgence of Afghanistans Spiritual Bazaar, and not forgetting Malalai of Maiwand, who turned her headscarf into a banner and led a successful rebellion against the British. Arbabzadah reveals for the first time Afghans own vibrant internal deliberations - - on sex and soap operas; conspiracy theories; drugs and diplomacy; terrorism and the Taliban; and how a long-dead soothsayer from Bulgaria accidentally shut down a newspaper. Many different Afghan sensibilities are presented in her book, yet together they offer an unvarnished, at times heartwarming, at times tragic, insight into one of the most complex and fascinating countries on earth. Author Biography Nushin Arbabzadah grew up in Kabul during the Soviet occupation, and as a teenager fled Afghanistan with her family. She later studied at Cambridge University and now writes a column in The Guardian.
