Colonial market knowledge and commercial experimentation -- pt. 2. The new outdated colonial political economy. 330 $aMost histories of nineteenth-century Afghanistan argue that the country remained immune to the colonialism emanating from British India because, militarily, Afghan defenders were successful in keeping out British imperial invaders. However, despite these military victories, colonial influences still made their way into Afghanistan. Looking closely at commerce in and between Kabul, Peshawar, and Qandahar, this book reveals how local Afghan nomads and Indian bankers responded to state policies on trade. British colonial political emphasis on Kabul had significant commercial consequences both for the city itself and for the cities it displaced to become the capital of the emerging Afghan state. Focused on routing between three key markets, Connecting Histories in Afghanistan challenges the overtly political tone and Orientalist bias that characterize classic colonialism and much contemporary discussion of Afghanistan. 606 $aHISTORY / Asia / India & South Asia$2bisacsh 607 $aAfghanistan$xCommerce$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aAfghanistan$xPolitics and government$y19th century 607 $aAfghanistan$xCommerce$zIndia$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aIndia$xCommerce$zAfghanistan$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xColonies$zAsia$xCommerce 607 $aGreat Britain$xColonies$zAsia$xEconomic policy 608 $aElectronic books. 615 7$aHISTORY / Asia / India & South Asia. 676 $a382.09581/054 700 $aHanifi$b Shah Mahmoud$01042277 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461660303321 996 $aConnecting histories in Afghanistan$92466390 997 $aUNINA
