Fayż Muḥammad KÄtib HazÄrahâs Afghan Genealogy and Memoir of the Revolution
Supplements to The History of Afghanistan
This book comprises English translations of NizhÄdnÄmah-i AfghÄn (Afghan Genealogy) and Taáºakkur al-InqilÄb (Memoir of the Revolution), the culminating works of FayzÌ Muḥammad KÄtib HazÄrahâs monumental history of Afghanistan, SirÄj al-tawÄrÄ«kh (The History of Afghanistan). NizhÄdnÄmah-i AfghÄn, a detailed guide to all the ethnic and religious communities in Afghanistan in the first third of the 20th century, is the first locally-produced ethnography by a modern Afghan scholar. The Taáºakkur al-InqilÄb is Fayz Muhammadâs journalistic record of seven of the nine months of AmÄ«r ḤabÄ«b AllÄh KalakÄnÄ«âs reign in 1929. Together with The History of Afghanistan these works offer an incomparable resource for the history of Afghanistan from the mid-18th to the mid-20th centuries.
