Cityscapes of Violence in KarachiPUblICS AnD COUnTerPUblICS
edited by nichola Khan
Karachi is a city framed in the popular imagination by violence, be it criminality and gangsterism or political factionalism. By commenting in different ways on the trials and tribulations of Karachi and Pakistan, the contributors to this innovative book on the city build on past writings to say something new or different—to enable the reader to re-think how they understand the processes at work in this vast urban space. They scrutinise Karachi’s diverse neighbourhoods to show how violence is manifested locally and citywide in protest drinking, social and religious movements, class and cosmopolitanism, gang wars, and how it affects the fractured lives of militants and journalists, among others. Oral history and memoir feature strongly, as do insights gleaned from anthropology and political science.
Nichola Khan is a social anthropologist and Principal Lecturer in the School of Applied Social Science at the University of Brighton.

And Death Walks with Them AbOVe eIghT ThOUSAnD MeTreS WITh PAKISTAnI POrTerS FrOM ShIMShAl
Christiane Fladt
The author intends to throw light on the uncelebrated lives of some of Pakistan’s High Altitude Porters (HAPs), who help mountaineers climb the Pakistan-based eight-thousand-metre peaks. The author has attempted to delve into their lives by digging out adventure and drama in their stories, which makes her work a significant contribution to the literature available on this topic. This book will be the first to record the names of the porters alongside those of the more wealthy climbers who hired them.
Christiane Fladt is a mountaineer, teacher, and an adventure enthusiast. She teaches English and Latin languages in Germany and has authored two books.

Kicking Up Dust Azra Abbas
Translated by Samina rahman This book, which is a biography of the author, very skilfully
presents a picture of her childhood, juxtaposing childish playfulness with the realities of the urban middle class she
lived in. The prose is engrossing because it presents a child’s candid and forthright perspective of the society she is part of. The curiosity of a rebellious child forced to survive in the adult world provides insight for the readers into the mind of a child forced to
grow up before her time. A number of the author’s poems, also translated by Samina Rahman, are included in this volume.
Azra Abbas writes poetry in Urdu. She has published four collections of poetry, her memoirs, a compilation of short stories,
and a novel.
Samina Rahman has written on education, literature, history, and women’s issues. Her English translations of Urdu fiction and
poetry have been published in various anthologies at home and abroad.
The Three Innocents and Ors. ChUghTAI On ChIlDhOOD
Ismat Chughtai
Translated by Tahira naqvi
Ismat Chughtai is one of the most renowned Urdu writers of the twentieth century in the subcontinent. A prolific writer, she has
authored several collections of short stories, novellas, novels, a collection of reminiscences, and essays. This work is a delightful
anthology that offers a rare glimpse into the lesser known aspects of Ismat Chughtai’s writing—the warmth, humour, and affection with which she writes on her childhood. Shedding all
of the certainties of an adult, she steps into a child’s shoes, looks upon the world with an unjaundiced eye, and presents us with
scrapes, situations, and sentiments that are refreshing in their candour. This is Chughtai at her disarming best.
Tahira Naqvi is a translator, writer, and Urdu language lecturer in the Department of Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies at New York
University.

Shuja nawaz
This definitive book is a profound and multi-layered analysis of the nature and role of the Pakistan Army in the country’s polity as well as its turbulent relationship with the United States. Shuja Nawaz examines the army and Pakistan in times of both peace and war. Using several hitherto unpublished materials, he sheds light not only on the Pakistan Army and its US connections but also on Pakistan as a key Muslim country in one of the world’s toughest neighbourhoods. He lays bare key facts about Pakistan’s numerous wars with India and its many rounds of political musical chairs, as well as the Kargil conflict of 1999. He then draws lessons from this history that may help Pakistan end its wars within and create a stable political entity. This second edition comprises an updated preface which summarizes the period of tumult and the significant transformation that both Pakistan and its army have undergone in the last decade.
Shuja Nawaz is a distinguished fellow at the Atlantic Council’s South Asia Center in Washington DC. He has authored five books.

Urdu Poetry, 1935–1970 The PrOgreSSIVe ePISODe
Carlo Coppola
This book attempts to determine the nature and meaning of the term ‘progressivism’ and assess its significance in the larger context of Urdu literature and, ultimately, South Asian literature. It investigates the emergence of the Progressive Movement in the subcontinent along with the indigenous and foreign influences: literary, historical, intellectual, and philosophical which set the stage for the Progressive Movement. Contrary to the belief held by some critics that the progressive movement was mostly if not entirely, derived from English and Russian sources and influences, this study indicates that strong indigenous elements contributed equally, if not more, to the movement.
Carlo Coppola is Professor Emeritus of Hindi-Urdu and linguistics at Oakland University, Rochester, Michigan, USA.

From Purdah to Parliament Shaista Suhrawardy Ikramullah
This is a simple and absorbing narrative of the life and times of Shaista Suhrawardy Ikramullah who was one of the few Muslim
women to take part in the Pakistan Movement. The account covers the days of the British Raj and its aftermath. Through the life of one individual, we witness the changes wrought through
the influence of the West in many purdah-observing households. The book provides interesting glimpses into the past and recounts
the social and political movement that brought about rapid change, dramatically exemplified by the entry of a lady brought up in purdah into parliament, the United Nations, and the Foreign
Service.
Begum Shaista Suhrawardy Ikramullah was one of the first female members of Pakistan’s Constituent-cum-Legislative
Assembly. She also served as Pakistan’s Ambassador to Morocco.
Written in the Season of FearIftikhar Arif
This is a selection of Urdu poems of the renowned Pakistani poet Iftikhar Arif, presented with translations in English. The poems
are compelling and have a contemporary style. He is known particularly for his references to the martyrdom of Imam Hussain
(RA)—the grandson of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)—and his companions in the tragedy of Karbala. In this way, he expresses his condemnation and rejection of tyrants and oppressors of all
times, past and present.
Iftikhar Arif was Chairman of the National Language Authority, Pakistan, and the Pakistan Academy of Letters. In his last
assignment, he was appointed as President of the ECO Cultural Institute, Tehran, Iran.
