Afghan Star $17.55 Rated: NRSynopsis: In Afghanistan you risk your life to sing. After thirty years of war and five devastating years of Taliban rule, pop culture is beginning to return to the country. Since 2005, millions have been tuning in to Tolo TV's wildly popular "American Idol"-style series "Afghan Star." Like its Western predecessors, people compete for a cash prize and record deal. More surprisingly, the contest is open to everyone across the country despite gender, ethnicity or age. Two thousand people audition, including three extremely brave women. And when viewers vote for their favorites via cell phone, it is, for many, their first encounter with the democratic process. Winner of the Directing and Audience Awards in Sundance's 2009 World Documentary competition, Havana Marking's timely and moving film follows the dramatic stories of four young finalists--two men and two women--as they hazard everything to become the nation's favorite performer. By observing the Afghani people's relationship to its pop culture, Afghan Star is the perfect window into a country's tenuous, ongoing struggle for modernity. What Americans consider frivolous entertainment is downright revolutionary--and more human--in this troubled part of the world. |

We Went to the Hills : Four Afghan Life Stories. $115.71 This dissertation examines four Afghan life stories for prevalent microhistorical perspectives on shared Afghan macrohistorical experiences. The introduction explains my background, motivations and objectives for conducting life history research in Afghanistan in 2004 and 2005. The first chapter outlines an approach applied to examining life stories that addresses three interrelated questions: first, how the narrators presentation is related to the memory of the actual events narrated (biographical chronology), second, how a narrative image/s of a persons past is established in relationships to individually significant audience/s (narrative self/audience), and third, how interrelationships between the individual life and the sociohistorical context are expressed by troubling or valued dimensions of the past (existential orientation). My examination focuses upon significant historical and interpersonal concerns as they manifest across individual life narratives. Each chapter begins with background on the circumstances of the interview, followed by the interview transcription, and concludes with an extended analysis of the life story. I conclude with ethnographic interpretation of each life story in light of recent Afghan history and speculating about the meanings of violence and the limits of trauma for contemporary understanding of Afghan culture and history.

The Afghan $11.99 Steven Crossley reads this thrilling tale of double agents, deceit and betrayal from bestselling author Frederick Forsyth. When British and American intelligence catch wind of a major Al-Qaeda operation in the works, they are primed for action. But what can they do? They know nothing about the attack. They have no sources in Al-Qaeda, and it's impossible to plant someone. Impossible, unless - 'The Afghan' is Izmet Khan, a five-year prisoner of Guantanamo Bay and a former senior commander of the Taliban. 'The Afghan' is also Colonel Mike Martin, a 25-year veteran of war zones around the world: a dark, lean man born and raised in Iraq. In an attempt to stave off disaster, the intelligence agencies will try to do what no one has ever done before - pass off a Westerner as an Arab among Arabs - pass off Martin as the trusted Khan. It will require extraordinary luck...A complete and unabridged reading by Steven Crossley. |
