SUMMARY:Lunch Talk :: Book Talk on Afghanistan Rising: Islamic Law and Statecraft between the Ottoman and British Empires (Harvard University Press\, 2017)
DESCRIPTION:Author: Faiz Ahmed\, Associate Professor of History\, Brown University \nModerator: Mariam Sheibani\, Visiting Fellow\, Program in Islamic Law\, Harvard Law School \nRespondent: Malika Zeghal\, Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Professor in Contemporary Islamic Thought and Life \nIn Afghanistan Rising\, Faiz Ahmed presents a vibrant account of Afghanistan\, the first Muslim-majority country to gain independence\, codify its own laws\, and ratify a constitution after the fall of the Ottoman Empire. He illustrates how turn-of-the-twentieth-century Kabul—far from being a landlocked wilderness or remote frontier—became a magnet for itinerant scholars and administrators shuttling between Ottoman and British imperial domains. Tracing the country’s longstanding but often ignored scholarly and educational ties to Baghdad\, Damascus\, and Istanbul as well as greater Delhi and Lahore\, Ahmed explains how the court of Kabul attracted thinkers eager to craft a modern state within the interpretive traditions of Islamic law and ethics\, or shariʿa\, and international norms of legality. Lunch will be provided. RSVP to PIL@law.harvard.edu.
