Resistance and Control in Pakistan
By Dr. Akbar Ahmed
In this book, one of the world's leading authorities on Islam examines what is happening in Muslim-majority countries today and assesses the causes of conflict and political upheaval. He tells the dramatic story of the revolt of the Mullah of Waziristan in northwest Pakistan and places it within the context of movements occurring elsewhere. Using this example, he examines the social structure and operative principles in Muslim societies and scrutinizes the influence of religion in societies undergoing modernization. (Routledge, 2004.)
