Introduction: The zenana revisited -- A day in the life -- Tension -- Anger -- Intimacy -- Conclusion: Emotion and the political actor
Summary
Presenting an ethnographic study of a multi-ethnic, middle-class high-rise apartment building in Karachi, Pakistan, this book argues that peace is the product of a relentless daily labour, much of it carried out in the zenana, or women's space. It provides a glimpse into contemporary urban life in a Muslim society
