Jonathan writes: Nancy Lindisfarne-Tapper and Richard Tapper have just published The Piruzai of Afghanistan: A Visual Ethnography with White Horse Press. It’s a 360 page book of photographs in colour and black and white from their fieldwork with pastoral nomads in northern Afghanistan just over half a century ago. The book is a record of a way of life before 43 years of war changed everything. The photos beautiful and cumulatively very moving. My favourites are the landscapes of their astonishing trek with the flocks to the mountains in the center of the country, and the deeply humane portraits.

We have published selected photos on Anne Bonny Pirate here. And you can order the book for £40 hardback or £20 paperback from White Horse Press here.

The book promised that a comprehensive bibliography of all Nancy and Richard’s published work on Afghanistan would be published on Anne Bonny. Here it is.
