Rezension zu „Under the Drones “
The 13 essays in this volume (each by a specialist) seek to shed light on a society that, while stereotyped as monolithically savage and medieval, is actually bewilderingly complex as it adapts to modern force. Publishers Weekly 20120302 Under the Drones will not displace the notions that Western observers often associate with the Afghanistan-Pakistan region-mindless cruelty, female oppression, and a flourishing opium economy. But the book will help readers to make sense of the economic and social forces that motivate the actions of the borderlands' inhabitants and to understand that the local population is not an empty slate to be written upon by agents from the outside. -- Karunesh Tuli ForeWord 20120901
