SUMMARY:Book launch: Afghan Village Voices & The Piruzai of Afghanistan
DESCRIPTION:Book launch in collaboration with the Afghanistan Society\nWednesday 10 June 2026\, doors opening 6:30 for a 7pm start of the talk \nThis is an in Person event at the RAI (50 Fitzroy Street\, W1T 5BT London). Book your ticket here. \n\nJoin the Royal Anthropological Institute and The Afghanistan Society for the launch of two books by Richard Tapper and Nancy Lindisfarne-Tapper. \nAfghan Village Voices is a collection of remarkable stories\, folktales\, and conversations recorded during field research in north-central Afghanistan in the early 1970s. The Piruzai of Afghanistan: a visual ethnography (in association with the White Horse Press) reproduces 380 photographs from the same research. These photographs tell a seasonal story of work\, play\, weddings\, and the long journey to summer pastures. Reflecting what people wanted to record about their lives\, both books offer a record of experiences just before fifty years of war and other disasters which have shaped Afghanistan. \nJoin Richard Tapper\, and panellists Veronica Doubleday and Orzala Nemat for a discussion of the power of these stories and photographs\, their role as a historical record\, and their contemporary relevance. \n____________________________________________________________________________________ \nAfghan Village Voices is published by I.B.
