	The Kirghiz and Wakhi of Afghanistan (M. Nazif Shahrani)
		Originally published in 1979, The Kirghiz and Wakhi of Afghanistan is a study of the peoples of the Wakhan Corridor, the long, narrow portion of Afghanistan that reaches out to touch China.
		The obvious motivation for the reissue is the involvement of the United States in Afghanistan, and the foreword focuses on terrorism, the Taliban, and recent Afghan history.
		The Wakhi and Kirghiz have been rather peripheral to Afghan politics, however, and anyone buying this book solely from an interest in those topics will be disappointed.

		Shahrani asserts that the problem of terrorism is fundamentally political and is historically linked to the inappropriate model of the centralized nation-state introduced to Afghanistan by colonial regimes.
		The differing responses of the Kirghiz and Wakhi to the Marxist coup are discussed in the new Epilogue.

	The Voice of the Nightingale (Sabine Felmy) - review
		From the Wakhan Corridor, the long extension of Afghanistan reaching eastwards to touch China, the Wakhi have migrated into China, Pakistan, and Tajikstan: some 30 000 are split fairly evenly between the four countries.
		Combining personal experiences, the life stories of informants, and some research, it is broad rather than deep: lacking any kind of theoretical or comparative perspective, it will primarily appeal to those with a prior interest in the region.
		Felmy begins with a sketch of the history of the Wakhi and the relationships of the Wakhi community in Ghujal with surrounding states, as well as of early European encounters with Wakhi culture and language and modern attempts to protect and preserve them.

	About Nazif Shahrani
		My initial field research (1972-1974) was a study of the cultural ecological adaptation of a small Turkic-speaking Kirghiz pastoral nomadic group and their sedentary neighbors, the Wakhi, in northeastern Badakhshan, Afghanistan, the province of my birth and early education.
		I collected ecological, economic, demographic, social organizational and historical data pertaining not only to the Kirghiz and Wakhi adaptation to high altitude and severe climatic conditions, but also to the constraints of a politically induced social and economic realities of closed frontier conditions imposed by Communist China and Soviet Russia in the region.
		It was the onset of the prolonged tragic war in Afghanistan that effectively robbed me of the opportunity to return home to work or do fieldwork, thus radically altering the trajectory of my personal and professional life, including the nature of my long-term personal and professional involvement with the Kirghiz and with Afghanistan.

		He eventually married a Wakhi women from Sarikol, who bore him several sons, the descendants of whom founded the three main lineage groupings of Shimshal: Gazikator, Bakhtikator and Baqikator.
		Soon after, our forefathers established fealty with the ruler of Hunza, becoming the first Wakhi-speaking community in Hunza, the first permanent settlement in what is now Gojal (Wakhi speaking upper Hunza), and one of Hunza's first communities to be a mix of Wakhi and Burusho social and cultural organisation from its origin.

		The language in greatest danger of dying out is Kalasha, because there are only 3,000 Kalash speakers left and, more importantly, when a Kalash person converts from the Kalash religion to Islam, they customarily stop speaking Kalasha and start speaking Khowar instead.
		Among the ten languages indigenous to Chitral, little is known about Wakhi, except that it is believed to be an archaic variety of Persian, perhaps similar to that spoken in the former Soviet Republic of Tajikistan.
