Soft cover. Condition: New. Does writing have a nationality? Are writers defined by geography, language, religion, gender and ethnicity alone, or are there other attributes that identify them.? Fifteen of the most articulate and creative non-fiction writers from Pakistan eloquently demonstrate that, as Sabyn Javeri says, "Who you are is more accurately represented by what you stand for, than by where you are from." Large-scale migration and transnational mobility have rendered national borders porous, while the Internet has internationalised communication in a way that practically erases territorial boundaries. Questions about 'being' and 'belonging' acquire an urgency that demands articulation: how does a writer relate to her context, whether at 'home' or 'away', and locate herself and her writing in it? For the purposes of this anthology, Javeri believes that, "A Pakistani writer is one who feels a connection to the land either by origin or by sensibility" This rich and fascinating collection of reflections, reminiscence, musings-and excellent writing-features Taymiya R.

They are among the best creative non-fiction writers anywhere. …

Soft cover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. A young kleptomaniac infuses thrill into her suffocating life by using her abaya to steal lipsticks and flash men. An office worker feels empowered through sex, shunning her inhibitions but not her hijab until she realizes that the real veil is drawn across her desires and not her body. A British-Asian Muslim girl finds herself drawn to the jihad in Syria only to realize the real fight is inside her.
