Recenzii
Nicolas Martin has written by far the best account I have yet read of the Hobbesian nature of power and violence in rural Punjab. . . . He also reflects deeply on the nature of Islamist resistance to the state in Pakistan. This is anthropology of the very highest order. A must-read book.—Stuart Corbridge, London School of Economics
Nicolas Martin’s admirably researched and well-written book is a highly important contribution to our understanding of political change and continuity in the Punjab countryside.—Anatol Lieven, Georgetown University in Qatar
Not many studies inform us on what is happening in the countryside of Pakistan. Nicolas Martin does . . . Having read his excellent work one understands why the land-poor and landless try and leave for the cities in search of a better life. — Jan Breman, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
The rich local detail of this work set in the Punjab puts it beyond comparison with recent writings on Pakistan’s political economy. The book’s wonderfully descriptive material is clearly and eloquently set out and the insights from this analysis throw an altogether new light on Pakistan’s overall politics and economics. — Philip K. Oldenburg, Columbia University

Descriere
Politics, Landlords and Islam in Pakistan explores the linkages between politics, religion, class, and caste in politics in rural Pakistan. It documents how landlords continue to wield arbitrary and despotic power over much of Pakistan’s rural population in the 21st century, and how participatory democracy has been subverted and has largely benefitted rural elites.
