Synopsis

Alka Patel brings together all the architectural patronage attributed to the Shansabānīs in Afghanistan and Pakistan (Swat and lower Indus region). In doing so, she creates an architectural biography of this pivotal polity and its trans-regional empire. By treating built remains as independent, primary sources, and juxtaposing them with the principal texts, Patel creates a complex understanding of the historical processes the Shansabānīs initiated throughout the landscapes they re-conjoined. Overall, this book provides the first analysis of this important epigraphic corpus. It will serve as the starting point for future research on the medieval epigraphy of Afghanistan and Pakistan.

À propos de l'auteur

Alka Patel is Professor in the Department of Art History and in the PhD Program for Visual Studies at the University of California, Irvine. Patel's research has focused on South Asia and its connections with Iran and Central Asia, including overland and Indian Ocean maritime networks. Her works include Building Communities in Gujarat: Architecture and Society during the Twelfth-Fourteenth Centuries (Brill 2004), and special issues of Ars Orientalis XXXIV (2004) and Archives of Asian Art LIX (2007). Patel's interests have expanded to include mercantile networks and architectural patronage in 18th-19th-century South Asia, as evidenced in Indo-Muslim Cultures in Transition (co-ed. K. Leonard, Brill 2012). Her recent volume India and Iran in the Longue Durée (Jordan Center for Persian Studies, 2017), co-edited with ancient Iranist Touraj Daryaee, analyzes Indo-Iranian connections over two millennia.
