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.
