  • AIPS 1998 Newsletter
    Pakistan Studies News Newsletter of the American Institute of Pakistan Studies Fall 1998 POWER AND CIVIL SOCIETY Power and Civil Society in Pakistan by Anita Weiss A number of Pakistan-based and U.S.-based scholars have been participating in a project entitled "Power and Civil Society in Pakistan." Professor Anita M. Weiss (University of Oregon) and Dr. Zulfiqar Gilani (University of Peshawar, AIPS/PLS visitor, 1996), project coordinators, will also jointly edit the resulting volume. The task of the project is two-fold: 1) to understand historic relations of power and authority in a range of social relationships in Pakistan as a means to create a baseline understanding of traditional conceptions of power. While these vary somewhat by region, class and gender, ample common features exist to form a foundation of what can be termed "Pakistani society." The country's founders envisioned its civil society -- intermediate institutions in the Tocquevillean sense free from both church (i.e., mosque) and state, in effect operating as a bulwark against the state amassing unbridled power -- within a pluralistic framework. albeit initially providing room for a variety of interpretations of its founding principles and future directions, and 2) to grapple with understanding the causes behind the disintegration of a moral consensus within Pakistani civil society, with the ultimate objective of reconceptualizing development priorities. The project's focus is on shifting power relationships in various social domains as contributors examine how changing power dynamics are precipitating or responding to the erosion of existing local social contracts, and ways in which they are affecting the emergence of alternative contracts between the peoples of Pakistan.

  • Translating a Poetic Discourse: Modern Poetry of Pakistan Reviewed by Qaisar Abbas
    Pakistaniaat: A Journal of Pakistan Studies Vol. 2, No. 3 (2010) Translating a Poetic Discourse: Modern Poetry of Pakistan Reviewed by Qaisar Abbas Modern Poetry of Pakistan. Iftikhar Arif, Waqas Khwaja, eds. London: Dalkey Archive Press, 2011. ISBN-9781564786050. It’s a rarity to see English translations of Pakistani poetry from Urdu and region- al languages in one anthology. The well known contemporary Urdu poet, Iftikhar Arif, who is also the Chairman of National Language Authority, has accomplished this daunting task as its editor. The forthcoming anthology “Modern Poetry of Paki- stan” is an extraordinary work that offers a colorful mosaic of romantic, postcolo- nial, modernist and postmodernist streams in the contemporary poetic discourse in Pakistan. The anthology offers 148 poems by 44 poets in English translated from seven languages including Urdu and regional languages-Balochi, Kashmiri, Pun- jabi, Pashto, Saraiki and Sindhi. It includes stalwarts of Urdu poetry, Allama Iqbal, Faiz Ahmed Faiz, Hafeez Jalandhari, Ahmad Nadeem Qasmi, and Josh Malihabadi, and the post colonial generation of N.M. Rashid, Meeraji, Ahmad Faraz, Majeed Amjad, Habib Jalib, Kishwar Nahid, Parveen Shakir, Munir Niazi and Iftikhar Arif. The second cadre of poets includes Sarmad Sehbai, Zafar Iqbal, Fahmida Riaz, Mustafa Zaidi, Shabnam Shakil, Ada Jafri and Nasir Kazmi among others. The 344-page anthology will be published in January 2011 by Dalkey Archive Press from London and Champaign with a price tag of $16.95. However, it is not inclusion of Urdu poets but the contemporary poets of re- gional languages that makes this anthology an astounding work. It includes Sheikh Ayaz, Janbaz Jatoi, Tanveer Abbasi, Sehar Imdad and Pushpa Vallabh (Sindhi); Hasina Gul, Ghani Khan, Gul Khan Naseer, Amir Hamza Khan Shinwari and Sa- mandar Khan Samandar (Pushto); Taos Binhali (Kashmiri); Ata Shad (Balochi), and Ustad Daman, Sharif Kunjahi, and Ahmed Rahi (Punjabi).
