Frontmatter -- Afghanistan Enters the Twenty-first Century -- About the Author -- Related TitlesWhen it invaded Afghanistan in 2001, the United States sought to do something previous foreign powers had never attempted: to create an Afghani state where none existed. More than a decade on, the new regime in Kabul remains plagued by illegitimacy and ineffectiveness. What happened? As Thomas Barfield shows, the history of previous efforts to build governments in Afghanistan does much to explain the difficulties besetting this newest experiment.

Pope -- Habeass corpus: feminism and detective fiction / Kathleen Gregory Klein.Names such as Sherlock Holmes, Hercule Poirot, and Sam Spade are perhaps better known than the names of the authors who created them. The woman detective has also had worldwide appeal; yet, with the exception of Christie's Miss Marple, the names of female detectives and their authors have only recently gained wide attention through the popularity of Marcia Muller, Sue Grafton, and Sara Paretsky.The essays in this collection grapple with a wide range of issues important to the female sleuth - the most important, perhaps, being the oft-heard challenge to her suitability for the job. Not surprisingly, gender issues are the main focus of all the essays; indeed, in detective novels with a woman protagonist, these issues are often right at the surface.Some of the papers see the female sleuth as an important force in popular fiction, but many also challenge the notion that the woman detective is a positive model for feminists. They argue that fictional female sleuths have lost the `otherness' that a feminine approach to the genre should encourage. Collectively, the essays also reveal the differences between British and American perspectives on the woman detective.Detective and mystery stories, EnglishHistory and criticismDetective and mystery stories, AmericanHistory and criticismFeminism and literatureEnglish-speaking countriesHistory20th centuryWomen and literature |zEnglish-speaking countries |xHistory|y20th centuryEnglish-speaking countriesHistory20th centuryAmerican fictionWomen authorsHistory and criticismEnglish fictionWomen authorsHistory and criticismFeminist fiction, AmericanHistory and criticismFeminist fiction, EnglishHistory and criticismEnglish-speaking countriesfastHistory.Detective and mystery stories, English.Detective and mystery stories, American.Criticism, interpretation, etc.Detective and mystery stories, EnglishHistory and criticism.Detective and mystery stories, AmericanHistory and criticism.Electronic books.
