New Book on Jamaat-e-Islami Women in Pakistan
We have just received the book by Amina Jamal, Jamaat-e-Islami Women in Pakistan. Vanguard of a New Modernity? Syracuse, NY: Syracuse University Press, 2013.
Through an ethnographic and textual study of Jamat women elected to local, provincial, and national bodies in Pakistan (2002-2008), Jamal draws attention to the forces that enabled these women to cover important roles within the party and in the two major centers of Karachi and Lahore.
