Skateistan: The Tale of Skateboarding in Afghanistan is a beautiful coffee-table book that documents the new generation of Afghan skateboarders and artists against the backdrop of the traditional Afghan society. Through words and photography, the book tells the tale of Skateistan, which has taught skateboarding and creative arts to girls and boys in Kabul since 2007.
