Emerging from nationalist struggles against British imperialism, in 1947 Pakistan became a ‘new nation-state’ by and for Muslims. Yet, the identities of the women and men of Pakistan and their state itself have been continually reframed. Reading works of history, literature, politics, and religion, gender, and environmental studies by and about Pakistanis, we explore how people conceived their country from its origins to the present. Short cumulative papers and one term paper required.
