Wazhmah Osman places television at the heart of these public and politically charged clashes while revealing how the medium also provides war-weary Afghans with a semblance of open discussion and healing. After four decades of gender and sectarian violence, she argues, the internationally funded media sector has the potential to bring about justice, national integration, and peace. Fieldwork from across Afghanistan allowed Osman to record the voices of many Afghan media producers and people. Afghans offer their own seldom-heard views on the country's cultural progress and belief systems, their understandings of themselves, and the role of international interventions. Osman analyzes the impact of transnational media and foreign funding while keeping the focus on local cultural contestations, productions, and social movements. As a result, she redirects the global dialogue about Afghanistan to Afghans and challenges top-down narratives of humanitarian development"-- $c Provided by publisher. 505 0 $a Legitimizing Modernity: Indigenous Modernities, Foreign Incursions, and Their Backlashes -- Imperialism, Globalization, and Development: Overlaps and Disjunctures -- Afghan Television Production: A Distinctive Political Economy -- Producers and Production: The Development Gaze and the Imperial Gaze -- Reaching Vulnerable and Dangerous Populations: Women and the Pashtuns -- Reception and Audiences: The Demands and Desires of Afghan People -- Conclusion: The Future of Afghan Media, the Future of Afghanistan. 650 0 $a Television broadcasting $x Social aspects $z Afghanistan. 650 0 $a Television and politics $z Afghanistan. 650 0 $a Television programs $z Afghanistan $x History $y 21st century. 651 0 $a Afghanistan $x Press coverage. $y 21st century $x Press coverage. 650 7 $a Social history $x Press coverage $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01355000 650 7 $a Television and politics $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01146689 650 7 $a Television broadcasting $x Social aspects $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01146764 650 7 $a Television programs $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01147026 651 7 $a Afghanistan $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205406 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 655 7 $a History $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Osman, Wazhmah, 1974- $t Television and the Afghan culture wars $d Urbana : University of Illinois Press, 2020. $z 9780252052439 $w (DLC) 2020038270 830 0 $a Geopolitics of information 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117031223.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20210723014918.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8F2F77F2EB7B11EB93BE284041ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b NIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
