{"product_id":"16663-mariam-ashraf-ghani","title":"Mariam \u0026 Ashraf Ghani","description":"The artist Mariam Ghani and her father, the renowned anthropologist and political scientist Ashraf Ghani, describe the cycle of repeated collapse and renewal in 20th-century Afghanistan in the form of a lexicon. The lexicon comprises 71 terms illustrated with images, including words that have a specific (political) meaning in the Afghan context, central figures and places, as well as entries on recurring events and themes that shaped that era. The starting point is a detailed consideration of the reign of King Amanullah Khan (1919–1929), whose successes and failures provided a model for subsequent Afghan reformers. This is followed by a series of terms that relate, among other things, to the Dar ul-Aman Palace, which today exists only as a ruin, was part of Amanullah's plans for a \"new city,\" and shaped 20th-century Afghan spatial politics as an exceptional space, hotbed of conflict, and as a prototype for future plans and a symbol of past failures.\u003cbr\u003eMariam Ghani (b. 1978) is an artist living in Kabul and New York. Ashraf Ghani (b. 1949), author of Fixing Failed States (in English) and A Window to a Just Order (in Dari and Pashtu), lives in Kabul.","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Book (978-3-7757-2878-2)","offer_id":44503953178888,"sku":"9783775728782","price":8.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ebook - EPUB (978-3-7757-3058-7)","offer_id":44573666410760,"sku":"9783775730587","price":4.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ebook - PDF (978-3-7757-4962-6)","offer_id":44573666443528,"sku":"9783775749626","price":4.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775728782_ef4cb0ff-d1f7-437a-91cb-99d0b1d92e40.jpg?v=1744114518","url":"https:\/\/hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/16663-mariam-ashraf-ghani","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
