Kabul Carnival: Gender Politics in Postwar Afghanistan
Julie Billaud
"Kabul Carnival examines the contested and changing gender politics in Afghanistan, largely focusing on recent issues but locating them in a wider historical sweep, setting a context in which orientalism and debates about modernity are echoed in the contemporary international agenda to reconstruct Afghanistan."—Patricia Jeffery, University of Edinburgh
Offering one of the first long-term on-the-ground ethnographies of Afghanistan since the arrival of allied forces in 2001, Kabul Carnival explores the contradictions, ambiguities, and unintended effects of the emancipatory projects designed for Afghan women and imposed by the international community.
