Ethnic and tribal loyalties in Afghanistan provided the lethal
cocktail for the violent conflict that engulfed the country
following the collapse of the Soviet backed government in 1992. The
ensuing fighting between mujahideen groups paved the way for the
tectonic social and political shifts, which continue to shape
events today. What accounts for the emergence of ethnicity, as the
main cause of conflict in Afghanistan? What moved people to respond
with such fervour and intensity to calls for ethnic solidarity?
This book attempts to make sense of ethnicity's decisive role in
Afghanistan through a comprehensive exploration of its nature and
perception. Based on new data, generated through interviews, field
notes and participant observations, Sharma maps the increased role
of ethnicity in Afghan national politics. Key social, political and
historical processes that facilitated its emergence as the
pre-dominant fault-line of conflict are explored, moving away from
grand political and military narrative to instead engage with zones
of conflict as social spaces. This book will be of interest to
students and scholars working in politics, ethnic studies and
security studies.
