???? “In the media, Afghanistan is systematically associated with attacks, terrorism, natural disasters and the violence of its governments. However, it is a country with a long history, great cultural diversity and always very involved in international economic and geopolitical relations. Alain Coppolani's book sheds light on the realities of this complex country and focuses for the very first time on many aspects that have been completely ignored in French-language literature on the subject. Drawing on documents in French and foreign languages (notably in Dari and Pashto, the two official languages of Afghanistan) ranging from international academic works to scriptural sources of Islam and press releases from the Afghan regime, Si l'Afghanistan m'était conté is an unparalleled source of information for anyone called upon to speak about Afghanistan or to intervene there: journalist, diplomat, academic, humanitarian or simply curious to know more about this country. Made up of seven major parts (history, territory and society, political system since 1919, religion, geopolitics, economy, culture), themselves divided into short chapters, embellished with several indexes, the work lends itself as much to continuous reading as to the search for information on a specific subject. » ???? https://albayyinah.fr/biographies-his...
