Study Up For 'Think:' Weaving A History, And A Future, For Afghanistan

Courtesy Anna Badkhen, NPR

What can we learn about Afghanistan’s legacy of war by observing the fragile everyday lives of its people? We’ll find out  at noon with war correspondent Anna Badkhen. Her new book is The World is a Carpet: Four Seasons in an Afghan Village.

Read about the tender exchanges Badkhen had with women who wove a carpet in the small village where she stayed in this Atlantic interview.

Listen to Think from noon to 2 p.m., Monday through Thursday, on KERA 90.1. You can stream the show at kera.org.

Lyndsay Knecht is assistant producer for Think.
