Product Description:

Based on extensive fieldwork spent among the people of Afghanistan, this book provides an original perspective on the case of the Hazaras and highlights how migration and transnationalism belong at the heart of the anthropological debates surrounding this unique group. Exploring conceptual terms from 'refugee' to 'kinship', the author goes beyond accepted definitions, assumptions and received wisdom to discover the distinctive social history of the Hazara people, and the factors that have influenced the phases of their migration over many years. Additionally, a new theoretical approach is developed as are innovative investigative and analytical techniques, making this book a valuable contribution to the current literature on this subject.
