Pilgrims of Love

The Anthropology of a Global Sufi Cult Pnina Werbner Werbner’s book traces the development of a Sufi Naqshbandi order which originated in Pakistan and has extended to Britain, Europe, the Middle East, and Southern Africa. Drawing on twelve years of fieldwork, she explains the complex organization of Sufi orders as regional and transnational cults, and examines how such cults are manifested through ritual and embodied in sacred mythology and global diasporas.

The Tigers of Baluchistan Sylvia Matheson For five years, the author lived among the Bugtis, traditionally known as the tigers of Baluchistan, who are one of the most distinguished Baluch tribes of Pakistan. She travelled extensively in remote parts of tribal territory, sharing a tough primitive way of life unchanged for centuries and recording it on tape, cine, and still fi lms. The result is a fascinating and very vivid eyewitness account of how the Bugtis are dealing with their sudden confrontation with twentieth century industrialization, following the discovery and development of Asia’s largest natural gas field inside their area. 1997, 242 pages, 216x138mm, Hardback

Afghanistan Louis Dupree Afghanistan looks at this age-old land and country as it was before the Soviet invasion. It contains two epilogues; one written in 1978 and the other in 1980 right before the Soviet invasion. Afghanistan traces the development of this country from a tribal and politically unstable nation to one with a system of representative government consistent with its cultural and historical patterns. Apart from the narrative, the author presents all this material to us through charts, maps, and illustrations. It also contains appendices on music and calendars used in Afghanistan. 1997, 804 pages, 216x138mm, Paperback

Zahoorul Akhlaq A Critical Life Roger Connah This book will not only serve as an introduction to Zahoorul Akhlaq but will also locate this extraordinary artist within a wider art practice which must debate many of the issues facing a young contemporary audience now living under the ‘seige of Islam’ and the demonisation of Muslims everywhere. Zahoorul Akhlaq was clearly enigmatic, warm, and intimate but his labyrinthine search for a visual philosophy—an iconography of being— remained relatively misunderstood. Akhlaq was not only one of the leading painters and experimental artists in Pakistani art circles, he pioneered the role of art as a seriously engaged critical practice. 2007, 350 pages, 240x180mm, Hardback

The imposing forts, magnificent palaces and the shrines of Uch are a living testimony to the grandeur of Cholistan, in the Punjab. Fully illustrated, with more than a hundred photographs, this book serves as a guide and a beacon for archaeologists, architects, anthropologists, and general readers.

The Friends of God

Sufi Saints in Islam: Popular Poster Art from Pakistan Jürgen Wasim Frembgen Modern poster-portraits depicting Sufi saints and their shrines are a vivid medium of piety and devotion. These colourful, visually fascinating and powerful prints are particularly significant for the study of contemporary views of the South Asian Sufi tradition shared by the common people. Unfolding a world of imagination, they reflect the visual aesthetics of folk art and pop art steeped in exuberance and playfulness. Through comprehensive documentation and analysis, this book aims to introduce the genre of popular Sufi poster art for the first time to a wider readership. 2006, 168 pages, 210x280mm, Hardback

The idea behind the show was not only to create a dialogue on the subject of calligraphy, but to bring fresh ideas and experimentation to an art form that very much belongs to Pakistan as a society. The show was an attempt to create awareness and dialogue about a great, historical art tradition. 2006, 190 pages, 275x210mm, Paperback

Laila Shahzada

Exploring an Inner Landscape Salwat Ali Laila Shahzada was foremost among the handful of women artists of the 1960s brave enough to forge a modern idiom to articulate their aesthetic sensibilities. The first artist to draw inspiration from the archaeological sites of the Indus Valley and Taxila region, Laila’s oeuvre played an important role in initiating and popularizing the ancient history of Pakistan as viable subject matter. This book explores Laila’s life and art which was characterized by rich colourization and stirring organic undulations with a strong accent on the surreal and the mystical. 2005, 102 pages, 240x240mm, Hardback

As Suhrawardy was well versed in Spanish as well as Arabic and Persian, he was able to study what had been documented in Spanish and other Art History sources about the influences on the Muslims which were brought to bear on the artifacts and architecture of Spain during the period of the Moorish Kingdoms. The author gives detailed descriptions of ivories, laces, and other objects found in the Islamic collections of many of the museums in Europe of that time. 2005, 202 pages, 216x138mm, Hardback

Nagori

Voice of Conscience Amber Romasa In painting or in his writings on art, Nagori’s expression remains forceful and blunt. Any conversation with him on the subject of his work and life means being exposed to an encyclopaedic range of knowledge on the world of art, the significance of protest art, the Indian and Muslim heritage of art, combined with a brimming passionate alertness to historical and present injustices. This book is an exploration of the artist and his powerful works of art which communicate through daring imagery and strident colours, and point out political failings, economic disparity, and social injustice. 2006, 76 pages, 216x138mm, Paperback

The author underscores the contrast between pre-and post-Partition Lahore and the sense of pain, loss, and longing for one’s homeland experienced by the displaced millions in India and Pakistan is palpable.

Captive Princess

Zebunissa, Daughter of Emperor Aurangzeb Annie Krieger Krynicki Princess Zebunissa has remained almost completely ignored by chroniclers and historians. Her father, the Emperor Aurangzeb had incarcerated her in the fortress prison of Salimgarh, where she languished for twenty years until her death. Everything about her life seems shrouded in mystery. Only her poems give us an indication of her character. She seems to have been a very humane person, with weaknesses, passions, and an indomitable pride.

Memoirs of Lt. Gen. Gul Hassan Khan In his candid autobiography Lieutenant-General Gul Hassan Khan recounts his experiences as ADC to the Quaid-i-Azam which gave him an insight into the character of the founder of Pakistan. His experiences enabled him to assess, in the light of standards set by Jinnah, the politicians who later occupied centre-stage. The author’s main concern in the book is with leadership, with the rapport that is, or should be, established between the commander and the men he leads. General Gul Hassan also narrates and analyses dispassionately the events of the India-Pakistan wars of 1965 and 1971. The final section of the book covers events after the fall of Dhaka, and deals with the author’s relationship with Zulfi kar Ali Bhutto. 2005, 452 pages, 216x138mm, Paperback

Congress policies under Gandhi drove the Hindus and the Muslims irreconcilably apart and they eventually convinced Jinnah, who had long fought for Hindu-Muslim unity, that his dream of united India was nothing but a mirage.

Politics and Genre in “Hamlet” Second Edition Revised and Expanded Adrian A. Husain A leading literary critic takes a historicist view of Shakespeare’s most famous and enigmatic play. It is concerned with identity, time and power in Hamlet and the question of aesthetic form in relation to all these. It takes a fresh look at a Renaissance hero who exists, oddly, on the margins of his play—and yet is condemned to be its hero. It frames the question that lies, implicitly, at the heart of Hamlet and, in some strange way, constitutes its tragedy: what is a play if not playacting? The second edition of the book clarifies and further corroborates this. The themes of incest and political legitimacy are addressed, the ‘revision’ theory is explored— and debunked—and the ahistorical character of Richard examined in the context of Richard II in additional notes. Elsewhere, the author adduces fresh evidence to demonstrate what he sees as crucial to Hamlet: the protagonist’s remarkable facility for and preoccupation with theatre screening and indeed impeding his capacity for spontaneous historical action. 2006, 72 pages, 200x140mm, Hardback

Architecture

A Very Short Introduction Andrew Ballantyne The balance of posterity and practicality in architecture throughout history, and its cultural relevance—from the Pyramids of Ancient Egypt to the Sydney Opera House, starkly contrasted with common cottage dwellings—are skillfully examined in this book. While the reader is introduced to particular historical periods, and to particular styles such as ‘baroque’ and ‘modern’, Andrew Ballantyne goes beyond this to explore the economic, political, and aesthetic significance of buildings, looking at how architecture acquires meaning through tradition and how it contributes to our sense of who we are.

A Very Short Introduction Dana Arnold In this clear and concise book, Dana Arnold presents an introduction to the issues, debates, and artefacts that make up the discipline of art history.

Capitalism

A Very Short Introduction James Fulcher The word ‘capitalism’ is one that is heard and used frequently, but what does the term really mean?

He looks at the different forms that capitalism takes in Britain, Japan, Sweden, and the United States. He also discusses the crisis tendencies of capitalism as seen through the tulipomania of 17th-century Holland, the recent South-East Asian banking crisis, and the Enron/Worldcom crisis in America. The book ends by discussing whether capitalism is heading for some final crisis, and where alternative systems are to be found. 2005, 152 pages, 180x115mm, Paperback

This book is a short account of the history of the doctrine, practices, and institutions of democracy, from ancient Greece and Rome through the American, French, and Russian revolutions, and its varieties and conditions in the modern world. It argues that democracy is a necessary but not a sufficient condition for good government, and that ideas of the rule of law, and of human rights, and the claims and liberties of groups within society must often limit the will of democratic majorities. 2005, 140 pages, 180x115mm, Paperback

Literary Theory

A Very Short Introduction Jonathan Culler Literary Theory is a controversial subject. Said to have transformed the study of culture and society in the past two decades, it is accused of undermining respect for tradition and truth, encouraging suspicion about the political and psychological implications of cultural products rather than admiration for great literature. In this book, Jonathan Culler explains ‘theory’, not by describing warring ‘schools’ but by sketching key ‘moves’ that theory has encouraged and speaking directly about the implications of theory for thinking about literature, human identity, and the power of language. 2005, 160 pages, 180x115mm, Paperback

Logic

A Very Short Introduction Graham Priest Logic is often perceived as an esoteric subject, having little to do with the rest of philosophy, and even less to do with real life. In this lively and accessible introduction, Graham Priest shows how wrong this conception is. He explores the philosophical roots of the subject, explaining how modern formal logic deals with issues ranging from the existence of God and the reality of time to paradoxes of self-reference, change, and probability. Along the way, the book explains the basic ideas of formal logic in simple, non-technical terms, as well as the philosophical pressures to which these have responded. This is a book for anyone who has ever been puzzled by a piece of reasoning. 2005, 140 pages, 180x115mm, Paperback

Philosophy

A Very Short Introduction Edward Craig This lively and engaging book is the ideal introduction for anyone who has ever been puzzled by what philosophy is or what it is for. Edward Craig argues that philosophy is not an activity from another planet: learning about it is just a matter of broadening and deepening what most of us do already. He shows that philosophy is no mere intellectual pastime: thinkers such as Plato, Buddhist writers, Descartes, Hobbes, Hume, Hegel, Darwin, Mill, and de Beauvoir were responding to real needs and events—much of their work shapes our lives today, and many of their concerns are still ours. 2005, 140 pages, 180x115mm, Paperback

Taylor Socrates has a unique position in the history of philosophy and had it not been for his influence on Plato, the whole development of Western philosophy might have been unimaginably different. Yet Socrates wrote nothing himself, and our knowledge of him is derived primarily from the engaging and infuriating figure who appears in Plato’s dialogues. This book explores the relationship between the historical Socrates and the Platonic character, and examines the enduring image of Socrates as the ideal exemplar of the philosophic life; a thinker whose moral and intellectual integrity permeated every detail of his life, even in the face of betrayal and execution by his fellow Athenians. 2007, 136 pages, 180x115mm, Paperback

World music’s invention and growth, as well as concerns for its ‘authenticity’ and ‘universality’, are explored through scrutinizing a selection of music cultures and events such as the Grammy Awards and the Eurovision Song Contest, as well as through examining such musicians as Bob Marley, Manu Dibango, Béla Bartók, the Chieftains, and Leadbelly. 2005, 144 pages, 180x115mm, Paperback

Initiating Devolution for Service Delivery in Pakistan Ignoring the Power Structure

The most important pre-requisite is addressing the power structure in the context in which devolution is to be introduced. This is an important book not only because of conceptual contributions but also because the authors were actually involved in the initiation and implementation of the devolution plan in Pakistan at the highest policy level.

The Politics of Islamic Finance Edited by Clement M. Henry and Rodney Wilson In the wake of the terrorist attacks on America, the UN Security Council passed a resolution targeting transnational sources of terrorist funds. The United States and the IMF are encouraging the governments of the Middle East to adopt policies of economic liberalism. One unexpected consequence is that a new type of capitalism, based on Islamic values and beliefs is emerging. This book explores the political implications of the slow but steady accumulation of Islamic capital and demonstrates that the commonly perceived connection between Islamic finance and money laundering and terrorism is simplistic and misleading. 2005, 307 pages, 234x156mm, Paperback

Transforming Schools in Pakistan Towards the Learning Community

Edited by John Retallick and Iffat Farah This book aims to answer a very pertinent question: is it possible to improve the quality of school education in Pakistan and other developing countries? The book argues that it is possible and endeavours to point the way forward. The crux of the argument is that schools need to be transformed into learning communities if significant improvement is to take place. In a traditional school only students are considered learners and most learning is by rote. A learning community is a school where all participants are learners, not just the students. School becomes a place where understanding, enquiry and questioning are encouraged in all teaching and learning encounters. 2005, 265 pages, 216x138mm, Hardback

An Indian Passage to Europe The Travels of Fath Nawaz Jang Edited by Omar Khalidi Between 1600–1900, several thousand Indians of different social classes travelled to Britain. Yet compared to the large number of travelogues and memoirs written by Europeans who visited India during this period only a handful of Indian accounts of Britain and Europe have come to light. One of them is by Mahdi Hasan Khan Fath Nawaz Jang, (1852–1904), a Hyderabadi civil servant of Lucknow origin. His fascinating observations of the British and European society are among a mere handful of available Indian representations of Europeans in the nineteenth century.

McMurdo’s Account of Sind James McMurdo This book provides readers with a vivid picture of how South Asians were perceived by many in Britain in the mid-nineteenth century, as well as of life in Sindh under the Amirs, rulers of the region at that time. McMurdo’s description indicates the bias and prejudice of an imperialist viewpoint and the political ramifications of such perceptions. At the time of Charles Napier’s conquest of Sindh in 1843, the British government launched an adverse propaganda campaign aimed at depicting the Amirs as being incapable of looking after their own territories. This account can be counted as a part of this campaign. The book reflects the broad political canvas of that time and prepares the backdrop for the eventual conquest of Sindh.

The British Raj in India An Historical Review

S. M. Burke and Salim Al-Din Quraishi This treatise on the Raj perceptively reviews the roles played by the three principle parties in the transfer of power: the British, the Hindus, and the Muslims. The British conquered and ruled India with the help of Indians, but when the weight of public opinion made it impossible for them to stay any longer, they managed to extricate themselves from the chaos with remarkable political dexterity. The Hindus with the lead in Western education and numerical and economic superiority, lost the bid for a united India because they overplayed their hand. The Muslims, demoralized and discredited by the British after 1857, had a hard time convincing the world that unmodified Westminster parliamentary institutions would install the Hindus as their masters for all time. 1995, 728 pages, 216x138mm, Paperback

Colonial Reports on Pakistan’s Frontier Tribal Areas Edited and Introduced by Robert Nichols Those hoping to fully understand the fighting in 2004 around Wana in South Waziristan will gain insight from this book. Throughout 2004, Pakistan used political negotiation and military force to crush or disperse militants, especially near the town of Wana. This short volume reprints two, onehundred-year old colonial reports on FATA regions, one on Wana and one on the Adam Khel Afridi homelands near Peshawar. These reports suggest the difficulty that state builders with centralizing ambitions have always had in prevailing against semi-independent communities yet to be fully integrated into wider political, economic and administrative systems. 2006, 107 pages, 240x180mm, Paperback

The chapters illustrate the diversity of societies with Muslim majority populations and challenge the dominant paradigm of what has come to be known as ‘Islamophobia’ since the War on Terror. 2006, 285 pages, 216x138mm, Hardback

The Selected Writings of Eqbal Ahmad Edited by Carollee Bengelsdorf, Margaret Cerullo, and Yogesh Chandrani Foreword by Noam Chomsky The book has a series of themes beginning with the revolutionary theory and counter-insurgency, moving on to the analysis of post-colonial states in the Third World, the Cold War and its aftermath, and finally the Middle Eastern and South Asian impasses and hopes. Eqbal Ahmad’s rendition of these events benefits not only from his keen analytical faculties, broad knowledge, and many years of direct engagement, but also from his ability to observe these developments from a perspective that integrates his deep immersion in the culture, history, and experiences of both the North and the South. 2006, 590 pages, 216x138mm, Paperback

Kashmir in Comparative Perspective Democracy and Violent Separatism in India Sten Widmalm Foreword by Ian Talbot In this balanced, carefully researched and well designed account of the Kashmir crisis, Sten Widmalm argues that ethnic violence is not an objective force with self-generating political consequences but a means by which competing elites carry on political struggle. The strength of the book is that it engages alternative explanations of ethnic conflict even as it teaches the particularity of specific cases in India.

Jihad, Hindutva and the Taliban South Asia at the Crossroads Iftikhar H. Malik This book explores significant developments in recent years that have completely transformed the South Asian political contours, including crucial societal movements such as Talibanization, Jihad, Hindutva, Sunni statism etc. These new trajectories have equally generated intra-society chasms, especially for ethnic and religious minorities, and have tried to offer alternative interpretations of national identity, occasionally advocating a forceful ethnoreligious conformity. While ‘indigenous’ elite led these ultra right, populist movements, the foot soldiers are all trained in madrassas or temples harbouring an emotional hatred for an invisible enemy. 2005, 336 pages, 216x138mm, Hardback

East Pakistan: The Endgame An Onlooker’s Journal, 1969–1971 Brigadier A. R. Siddiqi The 1971 East Pakistan tragedy was not just a failure of the military but also the collapse of the civil society in West Pakistan. The few voices raised against the military action were too feeble to make the army change the course it had set itself leading to a military defeat and the break-up of the country. The author’s assessments and forecasting of happenings in East Pakistan are objective, constructive and without any prejudice or bias. This book will contribute much towards the much-needed bridge building between Pakistan and Bangladesh.

The Politics of Knowledge in Pre-modern Islam Negotiating Ideology and Religious Inquiry Omid Safi The eleventh and twelft h centuries were a period of great significance in Islamic history when the Great Saljuqs, a Turkish-speaking tribe from central Asia, ruled the eastern half of the Islamic world for a great portion of that time. In a far-reaching analysis that combines social, cultural, and political history, Omid Safi demonstrates how the Saljuqs tried to create a lasting political presence by joining forces with scholars and saints who functioned under state patronage. He makes a significant contribution to understanding premodern Islam as well as illuminating the complex relationship between power and religious knowledge. 2007, 350 pages, 234x156mm, Hardback

He traces the origins of their schools from folk traditions to the courts of ancient emperors.

Life after Partition

Migration, Community and Strife in Sindh, 1947–1962 Sarah Ansari By the 1990s, ethnic politics had come to dominate Sindh, with calls for Karachi to become a fift h province in its own right. This book examines the historical background to these developments by focusing on events in the province in the years immediately following Partition, when migrants from India and local people in Sindh found themselves living alongside each other in the newly created state of Pakistan. How far they retained distinctive notions of community and identity, and what its impact was on processes of accommodation and integration, forms the main focus of this study of life in Sindh between 1947 and 1962. 2005, 245 pages, 216x138mm, Hardback

Translated and Annotated by Charles E. Butterworth Alfarabi was among the first to explore the tensions between the philosophy of classical Greece and that of Islam. His writings, extraordinary in their breadth and deep learning, have had a profound impact on Islamic and Jewish philosophy. This book presents four of Alfarabi’s most important texts, making his political thought available to classicists, medievalists, and scholars of religion and Byzantine and Middle Eastern studies.

Ghazali and the Poetics of Imagination Ebrahim Moosa A great deal of work has been published on Ghazali, a twelft h century Muslim theologian and legal and ethical thinker, in the English language, but no one has done what Ebrahim Moosa has accomplished: both to historicize and then to analyse Ghazali as a source of creative cross-pollination between medieval and modern Muslim religious thoughts. Moosa intends the book to be a journey of engagement with Ghazali in order to improve our understanding of the past and the future of Islam on the world stage. One of the author’s aims in doing this is to illuminate Ghazali’s creativity and imagination and to encourage contemporary scholars of Islam to draw inspiration from its most illustrious historical interpreter.

Abu Hamid al Ghazali, arguably one of the most famous Muslim intellectuals in the history of Islam, set out to provide a legally sanitized definition of Unbelief (kufr) as the basis for a criterion for determining who, as far as theology is concerned, is to be considered a Muslim and who is not. The translation is preceded by an extensive commentary in which the author reconstructs the historical and theoretical context of the Faysal and discusses its relevance for contemporary thought and practice.

In addition, the author reviews the events that led to the re-entry, in 1999, of the armed forces into politics after a short and turbulent period of ‘democracy’, and provides some insights into possible political developments in Pakistan in the future. 2005, 324 pages, 216x138mm, Hardback

Asghar Khan The book focuses on the early entry of Pakistan’s armed forces into the country’s politics and the struggle for the restoration of democracy from 1968 onwards.

Honour

Crimes, Paradigms, and Violence against Women Edited by Lynn Welchman and Sara Hossain Honour brings together the practical insights and experiences of individuals and organizations working in diverse regions and contexts to combat ‘crimes of honour’. The book examines strategies of response to such manifestations of violence against women, focusing largely on ‘honour killings’, forced marriages, and the related use of ‘honour’ and ‘provocation’ as a legal defence in Europe, the Middle East, Latin America, and South Asia. This timely book highlights activist and practice-orientated academic perspectives from both the South and the North. 2007, 398 pages, 234x156mm, Hardback

Zina

Transnational Feminism and the Moral Regulation of Pakistani Women Shahnaz Khan In this study, the author interrogates the Zina (anti-adultery) Ordinance and its implications for Pakistani women. She presents a substantive assessment of what has been occurring because of these laws and argues that the zina laws help situate morality within the individual, thus de-emphasizing the prevalence of societal injustice. The author’s original contribution lies in the interviews with women arrested under the Zina Ordinance. She concludes that transnational feminist solidarity can help women identify the linkages between the local and global and challenge oppressive practices internationally. 2006, 160 pages, 234x156mm, Paperback

Contested Representation

Punjabi Women in Feminist Debate in Pakistan Tahmina Rashid This research brings forth a dynamic way of looking at women’s rights activism in Pakistan and how it affects the manner in which women issues are analysed in various state and non-state avenues both at national and international levels.

Beyond Honour

A Historical Materialist Explanation of Honour Related Violence Tahira S. Khan This book is an attempt to look beyond the cultural notion of honour as the main motive behind gender-based violence by examining related issues through historical academic research along with the narration of present day stories of victims around the globe. By focusing on honour related violence in the Muslim world, especially in Pakistan, this study aims to explain the origin and persistence of the honour/shame code by applying Marx’s Historical Materialist approach. This historical approach identifies the materialist/ economic basis of honour related violence in some societies, and the absence of such violence in others. 2006, 335 pages, 216x138mm, Hardback

Taboo!

The Hidden Culture of a Red Light Area Fouzia Saeed Foreword by I. A. Rehman The Islamic injunction against extramarital sex adds to the complexities that prostitution has brought to Pakistani society. The Shahi Mohalla or Royal Locality is the most infamous flesh market of Pakistan which has existed through the centuries. In the process it has left an indelible impression on not only the social consciousness of Pakistan, but also on many arts like dancing and singing. This is a scholarly, yet sympathetic, analysis of an area no one admits to have visited, and which nevertheless flourishes under the eyes of the guardians of law and public morality. 2002, 336 pages, 216x138mm, Paperback
