Imagining Pakistan

Modernism, State, and the Politics of Islamic Revival

Beschreibung

This study examines the conflict between two visions for Pakistan: a modern constitutional framework and an Islamist state. The author argues that Western liberal ideas were at the root of Pakistan’s creation, analyzes the society’s drift away from its founding philosophy, and assesses optimistic indications of its revival.

Autor
