Sobre este artículo
Bangkok: Orchid Press, 2015. Autobiography of the last absolute ruler of the Swat Valley, as recorded by Fredrik Barth. When he was born in 1908, the Swat Valley formed a complex but stateless society of several hundred thousand members, linked to the archaic cosmopolitanism of Inner Asia, but hardly touched by centuries of external influence. Indeed, the Swat Valley had never even been seen by an Englishman until 13 years before the Wali's birth. During his childhood, his father emerged as the creator and ruler of a new state in this tribal territory. Assuming the role of ruler, himself, on his father's death, the Wali oversaw a period of tumultuous change, culminating in a peaceful transfer of his power to Pakistan in 1969. 200 pp., 18 b&w plates, 2 maps. Reprint. Soft Cover. As New. 21.5 x 14.5 cm.
