Trade Review
“Arguing Sainthood can and should be used in courses on modernity, postcolonialism, the Middle East, South Asia, and in other courses—cultural studies, religion—where Lacanian ideas are not unfamiliar.”—Michael M. J. Fischer, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
“This is an important book, one that is significant for the discourses of Pakistani modernity and the dilemmas it creates, the internal differentiations in Pakistani society, and the historical forces that brought them about.”—Gananath Obeyesekere, Princeton University
