520    "This book provides the first ever overview of the history
       and development of Islam in Afghanistan. It covers every 
       era from the conversion of Afghanistan through the 
       medieval and early modern periods to the present day. 
       Based on primary sources in Arabic, Persian, Pashto, Urdu 
       and Uzbek, its depth and scope of coverage is unrivalled 
       by any existing publication on Afghanistan. As well as 
       state-sponsored religion, the chapters cover such issues 
       as the rise of Sufism, Sharia, women's religiosity, 
       transnational Islamism and the Taliban. Islam has been one
       of the most influential social and political forces in 
       Afghan history. Providing idioms and organizations for 
       both anti-state and anti-foreign mobilization, Islam has 
       proven to be a vital socio-political resource in modern 
       Afghanistan. Even as it has been deployed as the national 
       cement of a multi-ethnic 'Emirate' and then 'Islamic 
       Republic,' Islam has been no less a destabilizing force in
       dividing Afghan society. Yet despite the universal 
       scholarly recognition of the centrality of Islam to Afghan
       history, its developmental trajectories have received 
       relatively little sustained attention outside monographs 
       and essays devoted to particular moments or movements. To 
       help develop a more comprehensive, comparative and 
       developmental picture of Afghanistan's Islam from the 
       eighth century to the present, this edited volume brings 
       together specialists on different periods, regions and 
       languages. Each chapter forms a case study 'snapshot' of 
       the Islamic beliefs, practices, institutions and 
       authorities of a particular time and place in Afghanistan"
