Nukhbah Taj Langah

Poetry as Resistance (eBook, PDF)

Islam and Ethnicity in Postcolonial Pakistan

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book discusses the ways in which Siraiki creative writers have transformed into political activists, resisting the self-imposed domination of the Punjabi-Mohajir ruling elite. Influenced by Sufi poets, their poetry takes the shape of both protest and dialogue, shaping the politics of identity in Pakistan.
