Settling the Frontier: Land, Law and Society in the Peshawar Valley, 1500-1900

No Customer Reviews

This political and social history explores four centuries in the history of the Peshawar region, from 1500 to 1900. It examines how different residents experienced imperial expansion (from the Mughals to the British), technological innovation, and the growth of state institutions, while they simultaneously nurtured and transformed indigenous power relations, socio-cultural practices, and a political economy never completely distanced from an earlier pastoral-nomadic heritage.
