Despite the long and intimate history of engagement along the
border between Afghanistan and Pakistan's North-West, this area and
its relationship to the world remains poorly understood in the
West's popular imagination. Through the construction of a collage
of historical narratives and intense ethnographic encounters,
Marsden and Hopkins argue that the simplistic stereotypes and
tropes that all too often masquerade as knowledge about the
Frontier not only conceal a more complex reality, but are also a
source of the problems that local and international actors alike
face there. Not some simple isolated depot of radical terrorists or
instrumental tribesmen, the Frontier is a space of richly textured
meaning, constructed through a history of movement of its
inhabitants and their understanding of the world beyond. Fragments
of the Afghan Frontier offers a corrective to simplistic
understanding both of the region's history and its current
realities, leaving the reader with a deeper understanding of the
ever-evolving complexity of this globally significant region.
