Pakistan : A Global Studies Handbook Hardback
by Yasmeen Niaz Mohiuddin
Part of the Global Studies - Asia series
Hardback
Description
A comprehensive study of the history, politics, religion, economy, and culture of Pakistan—how it came to be, where it is, and where it is going. Pakistan occupies a position of geopolitical and strategic importance for the United States.
This book explains why, and reveals the reality of this little-studied country.
Although Pakistan became a country only in 1947, its people and culture have a rich history.
It is a Muslim state, a nuclear power, and a politically troubled land. Pakistan stretches from the heights of the Hindu Kush to the lowlands of the Indus delta.
Its people and culture are as varied as its landscape.
This scholarly yet accessible work treats the full range of modern Pakistan.
Its thorough examination of the country’s problems—along with its strengths—makes this an ideal resource for high school or college course work, and an indispensable addition to library collections. Chronologies of pre-1947 history, and of politics and economic regimes since 1947Maps and photographs showing political and cultural geography and significant figures and cultural icons
