Book Reviews of Afghanistan 101: Understanding Afghan Culture
Book Review: A thorough, schematic, and readable approach to the culture of Afghanistan
Summary: 5 Stars
Entezar's book is a delightful introduction, with many contemporary examples, to Afghan culture and its implications for those working with Afghans, or offering programs for Afghans. His experience teaching Afghan language and culture to Peace Corps Volunteers, diplomats, and soldiers makes this book a fascinating read with illustrations that come alive to the reader.
It should be read by every policy maker, aid worker and soldier who is preparing to travel and live in Afghanistan. One cannot understand, assist, and positively influence Afghans without understanding their culture.
A native of Afghanistan, Dr. Entezar returned to his native country and continued his research over the past 30 years.
Highly recommended.
