The Muhajir Qaumi Movement (mqm), Propelled By Ethnic Violence And Led By University Students With Lower-middle-class Backgrounds, Transformed The Cities Of The Southern Pakistani Province Of Sindh Into An Ethnic Majoritarian Stronghold At The Unlikely Height Of A Military Dictatorship. The More Novel Aspect Of The Mqm's Platform Was Its Demand For The Recognition Of Muhajirs As A Separate, Oppressed Nationality Within Pakistan. Questioning Migrants Is A Granular Historical And Ethnographic Study Of The Mqm's Capacity To Think Beyond The Exclusivism Of Muhajir Nationalism Toward Its Contingency And Toward A More Plural And Subaltern Framing Of The Universal. It Speaks To Significant Themes In Pakistan Studies: The Legacies Of Partition, The Rise Of The Martial State, And The Dynamics Of Urbanization And Democracy-- Provided By Publisher.
