Rezensionen

"This book makes an important contribution to our understanding of what happened in Swat, especially to women there, leading up to the takeover by the Pakistan Taliban in 2008-09. It is especially relevant today with the resurgence of the Afghan Taliban in Afghanistan."

Professor Anita M. Weiss, University of Oregon, USA

"This book discusses the agency of Swat women during one of the most regressive phases of the Swat history when Taliban ruled this beautiful valley from 2005-2010. Moreover, it tells a fascinating story of how Swati women coped with the structural violence, were able to negotiate and use their agency which was ultimately manipulated by the militants as well."

Dr. Saeed Ahmed Rid, Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad, Pakistan
