- The result of seven years of research, including 13 months of fieldwork, this is the first ethnographic monograph on the middle class in Pakistan. Research involved collection of primary material from diverse sources and groups, relying also on secondary literature from other disciplines, including architectural history, urban planning, political economy and religious studies. The book’s scope of argument is ambitious, making also an original contribution in the anthropology of Islam by bringing questions of class into conversation with theoretical debates on ethics and self-cultivation. It was awarded the American Institute of Pakistan Studies 2019 Book Prize.
