Here at last is a solidly researched study about Pakistan that does not blame its Indian neighbor for the country's ills, that does not consider the Islamic faith of its people an implacable obstacle to modernity, and that finds plentiful signs that the country's democratic institutions, in spite of the battering they have taken from the country's military leaders, have ample capacity to revive the liberal and pluralist ideals of Pakistan's founding fathers. Refreshingly and knowledgeably optimistic about a nation that has for too long been a poster child for political dysfunctionality, this is an important book about an important country that will soon rank as the most populous Muslim state on the planet. -- Robert G. Wirsing, Georgetown University in Qatar An important contribution by a seasoned scholar of Pakistan, this well-written and accessible study will invigorate discussions about the competing visions of the country as an apparently modern, democratic state conceived by its founders and as a conservative, illiberal one preferred by radical Islamists. It should be of interest to anyone who cares about the future of Pakistan, but also to those who are interested in how contestation over national identity shapes the struggle for pluralism and democracy in a state historically dominated by a praetorian military. -- Aqil Shah, University of Oklahoma
