- Imagining Afghanistan is the culmination of an 8-year research project, which entailed a close reading of hundreds of documents in the India Office Records between 1807-1945 (Political and Secret Department Records, General Correspondence, Proceedings and Private Papers) held at the British Library. The book analyses a wide range of other materials including newspapers and magazines in the US and the UK (The Guardian, Telegraph, The New York Times, The Times Magazine and The Economist) films, policy documents, and literature on Afghanistan between 2000-2014. At 113,000 words it is a substantial monograph on Western knowledge production (imperial and contemporary) about Afghanistan.
