A penetrating anthropological inquiry into remote areas as
understood by their inhabitants and by the outsiders who encounter
them This groundbreaking book is the first sustained
anthropological inquiry into the idea of remote areas. Shafqat
Hussain examines the surprisingly diverse ways the people of Hunza,
a remote independent state in Pakistan, have been viewed by
outsiders over the past century. He also explores the Hunza
people’s perceptions of British colonialists, Pakistani state
officials, modern-day Westerners, and others, and how the local
people used their remote status strategically, ensuring their own
interests were served as they engaged with the outside world.
