In Pakistan, myriad constituencies are grappling with
reinterpreting women's rights. This book analyzes the Government of
Pakistan's construction of an understanding of what constitutes
women's rights, moves on to address traditional views and
contemporary popular opinion on women's rights, and then focuses on
three very different groups' perceptions of women's rights:
progressive women's organizations as represented by the Aurat
Foundation and Shirkat Gah; orthodox Islamist views as represented
by the Jama'at-i-Islami, the MMA government in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
(2002-08) and al-Huda; and the Swat Taliban. Author Anita M. Weiss
analyzes the resultant "culture wars" that are visibly ripping the
country apart, as groups talk past one another - each confidant
that they are the proprietors of culture and interpreters of
religion while others are misrepresenting it.
