Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Jonah Blank's important, myth-shattering book, the West gets its first look at the Daudi Bohras, a unique Muslim denomination who have found the core of their religious beliefs largely compatible with modern ideology. Combining orthodox Muslim prayer, dress, and practice with secular education, relative gender equality, and Internet use, this community serves as a surprising reminder that the central values of "modernity" are hardly limited to the West.

Download or read book The Karimjee Jivanjee Family written by Gijsbert Oonk and published by Amsterdam University Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a well documented analysis of the Karimjee Jivanjee family and the family business, Karimjee Jivanjee & Co. Drawing from a variety of sources, including interviews with the Karimjee family and associates, the author offers a comprehensive, fascinating biography that spans over 200 years. The Karimjee family has played a major role in shaping the political and economic history of Zanzibar and Tanzania, with close ties to the British and German Empires, as well as the African Independence Movements. Although heavily affected by the nationalization programmes of the late 1960's, they have since recovered and are now back in business. Much more than a 'rags to riches' story, it is an account of East Africa told through the eyes of the family of a South Asian settler. --Book Jacket.
Download or read book The Upstairs Wife written by Rafia Zakaria and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2016-01-05 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A memoir of Karachi through the eyes of its women An Indies Introduce Debut Authors Selection For a brief moment on December 27, 2007, life came to a standstill in Pakistan. Benazir Bhutto, the country’s former prime minister and the first woman ever to lead a Muslim country, had been assassinated at a political rally just outside Islamabad. Back in Karachi—Bhutto’s birthplace and Pakistan’s other great metropolis—Rafia Zakaria’s family was suffering through a crisis of its own: her Uncle Sohail, the man who had brought shame upon the family, was near death. In that moment these twin catastrophes—one political and public, the other secret and intensely personal—briefly converged. Zakaria uses that moment to begin her intimate exploration of the country of her birth. Her Muslim-Indian family immigrated to Pakistan from Bombay in 1962, escaping the precarious state in which the Muslim population in India found itself following the Partition. For them, Pakistan represented enormous promise. And for some time, Zakaria’s family prospered and the city prospered. But in the 1980s, Pakistan’s military dictators began an Islamization campaign designed to legitimate their rule—a campaign that particularly affected women’s freedom and safety. The political became personal when her aunt Amina’s husband, Sohail, did the unthinkable and took a second wife, a humiliating and painful betrayal of kin and custom that shook the foundation of Zakaria’s family but was permitted under the country’s new laws. The young Rafia grows up in the shadow of Amina’s shame and fury, while the world outside her home turns ever more chaotic and violent as the opportunities available to post-Partition immigrants are dramatically curtailed and terrorism sows its seeds in Karachi. Telling the parallel stories of Amina’s polygamous marriage and Pakistan’s hopes and betrayals, The Upstairs Wife is an intimate exploration of the disjunction between exalted dreams and complicated realities.
