This is the author's opinion and theory, and so it could be true/not true or partly true but, regardless, the story of the "regular folk" in that neck of the world really individualizes the Afghanies to me. We - USA born folk, often generalize about Middle Easterners being all one way or the other... I tend to do that too, because that's all I hear and see on the news, but this book turned what, for me, was a monolithic group into millions of individuals with individual concerns and lives. I'm not sure I feel comfortable yet with them and I'm really impressed that the author felt (relatively) comfortable moving about in that world, but I hope I look at the problems in the Middle East through a more individualistic lens rather than lumping them all together. If I'm able to do that, it'll be partly (mostly?) due to this book. Highly recommend.… (altro)
