Publisher's Synopsis

This political and social history explores how over several centuries (c.1500-1900) different residents of the Peshawar region experienced imperial expansion (from the Mughals to the British), technological innovation, and the growth of state institutions, while they simultaneously nurtured and transformed indigenous power relations, socio-cultural practices, and a political economy never completely distanced from an earlier pastoral-nomadic heritage.
