Kathleen Jamie


Among Muslims: Everyday Life on the Frontiers of Pakistan Kathleen Jamie Book DescriptionAs a woman traveling alone in the early 1990s, Kathleen Jamie had exceptional access to the people inhabiting the remote Northern Areas of Pakistan: She befriended not only the men, but the purdah-observing Shia Muslim women who rarely appear in public.
