soc.culture.afghanistan

Discussion of the culture and people of Afghanistan.

Active through the 1990s and 2000s, soc.culture.afghanistan carried diaspora conversation on Afghan history, Pashto and Dari language and poetry, music, and the daily news that repeatedly redrew the country. Threads moved between recipes and refugee logistics, often in the same week.

Like most soc.culture groups it was unmoderated, and its archive is a first-hand record of how Afghans abroad discussed the Soviet withdrawal aftermath, the civil war, the Taliban years and 2001 as they happened.
