Rafi Raza, (Ed.), Pakistan in Perspective, 1947-1997, Oxford University
Press, 1997. pp. 320.
This is undoubtedly a most useful, updated collection of articles on
various aspects of the Pakistani canvas. It is a valuable contribution given the
relative paucity of material and literature on such topics. Aside from the
somewhat tedious chapter on foreign policy, tiresome by virtue mainly of its
bulk (stretching over a total of about a hundred pages in its entirety), the
articles make for interesting and refreshing reading for not merely the
specialist but the layperson as well.
If length is any indication of importance, then surely it is a case of
misplaced priorities to have given so much space to a subject such as foreign
policy and, in comparison, the pieces on such vitally crucial issues as
population planning and human rights are allocated, for whatever reason, a
considerably less quantum of space in the book.
