Books by Ali Eteraz
Children of Dust
by Ali Eteraz
Many of us living here think one of the problems with Pakistan is that our history is written for us by foreigners. If you go to any library and look at any history books on Pakistan, or any political books, they all seem to be written by outsiders, by middle-aged white men. And what is so important about Eteraz is that he is perfectly well placed – much more so than a foreign correspondent who has spent two summers in Pakistan – to talk about issues like fundamentalism and disillusionment, and he is able to discuss this evolving religious language that we now use when speaking about Pakistan.
