Introduction : the historical location and conceptual framing of Afghanistan -- Financing the Kabul produce -- Contracting nomadic carriage for an aquatic agenda -- Fiscal instability and state revenue reformulation during the first British occupation -- Capital concentrations and coordinations : Peshawar subsidies and Kabul workshops -- New state texts and old commercial flows -- Mutual evasion between Afghanistan and the global marketplace -- Conclusion : deflecting colonial canons and cannons : alternate routes to knowing Afghanistan.
Summary: Most 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.
