Focusing on the case of the Hazaras, a population from central
Afghanistan, the book shows how migration studies and
transnationalism are at the heart of theoretical and methodological
debates which animate anthropology.
Several wars and migrations have marked the eventful past of the
Hazaras. At the end of the 19th century, many of them have escaped
from the subjugation of the region of origin by the emir of Kabul.
a new exodus has been caused by the fighting which have devastated
Afghanistan after the communist coup of 1978 and Soviet
intervention of 1979. These movements will in all likelihood not
come to en end, even if the situation of the country should
improve, because migration became a principle of life.
Migratory flows of the Hazaras are organized around three places:
Hazarajat (Afghanistan), the city of Quetta (Pakistan) and some
urban centers of Iran. The mobility of the people, the remittances
(thanks to the hawala system), as well as the intense circulation
ofinformation from one place to another one reproduce social ties
in spite of war and dispersion. The social networks and the
economic strategies of the Hazaras illustrate the resilience of a
refugee population.
