    Farzana Shaikh

    Book, Columbia University Press, 2009

  • Description

    Farzana Shaikh argues that though external influences and domestic politics have unquestionably shaped Pakistan, an uncertainty about the meaning of Pakistan and the significance of “being Pakistani” lies at the heart of the state’s social and political decline.
