SUMMARY:BOOK TALK: AFGHANISTAN RISING WITH FAIZ AHMED
DESCRIPTION:August 19\, 2019 marks the 100th anniversary of Afghanistan’s independence from Britain. Commemorating the roots and legacies of that watershed event\, Faiz Ahmed presents a vibrant account of the first Muslim-majority country to form a fully sovereign government\, ratify a constitution\, and promulgate an original body of national laws after the fall of the Ottoman Empire. Debunking conventional narratives of Afghanistan as a perennial war zone and remote frontier\, his recently published book Afghanistan Rising rediscovers a time when Kabul stood proudly as a center of constitutional politics and contested visions of reform in the greater Islamicate world. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCosponsors: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFaiz Ahmed is Associate Professor of History at Brown University. He specializes in legal and constitutional history in the Ottoman Empire\, Middle East\, and South-Central Asia\, as well as the social history of diasporic communities connected to these regions. His first book\, Afghanistan Rising: Islamic Law and Statecraft between the Ottoman and British Empires\, was published with Harvard University Press in November 2017. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nOur discussant\, Ayşe Baltacıoğlu-Brammer\, is currently an Assistant Professor of History and Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies at NYU.  Ayşe is a specialist in Middle Eastern history with a focus on early modern Ottoman and Safavid Empires. Her research interests are centered around questions surrounding the Sunni-Shi‘ite conflict during the early modern period and its enmeshment with issues of political\, religious\, and fiscal legitimacy in inter-confessional and inter-imperial contact zones. \n
