| Summary |
A book about the reconstruction of Afghanistan examines how the perceptions of outsiders have been at odds with Afghans' own understandings of their country, and how by continuing to indulge in a superficial, selective portrayal of the country, the international community risks manufacturing a state that does not exist, and policies that will not work |
